News archive - Call for Applications: Visiting Research Programme

The Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB) invites applications from external researchers for a Visiting Research Program established by the OeNB’s Economic Analysis and Research Department. The purpose of this program is to enhance cooperation with

  • members of academic and research institutions (preferably post-doc), and with
  • central bank researchers

who work in the fields of macroeconomics, international economics or financial economics and/or with a regional focus on Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe. Application deadline for the year 2012: November 1, 2011.

The OeNB offers a stimulating and professional research environment in close proximity to the policymaking process. Visiting researchers are expected to collaborate with the OeNB’s research staff on a prespecified topic and to participate actively in the department’s internal seminars and other research activities. They are provided with accommodation on demand and have, as a rule, access to the department’s data and computer resources and to research assistance. Their research output will be published in one of the department’s publication outlets or as an OeNB Working Paper. Research visits should ideally last between 3 and 6 months, but timing is flexible.

Applications (in English) should include the following:

  • Curriculum vitae
  • A research proposal that motivates and clearly describes the envisaged research project
  • An indication of the period envisaged for the research stay
  • Information on previous scientific work

Applications for the year 2012 should be e-mailed to Eva.Gehringer-Wasserbauer@oenb.at by November 1, 2011.
Applicants will be notified in the first week of December of the jury’s decision. The next round of applications will close on May 1, 2012.
