Om stillingen
The research department of Norges Bank, the Central Bank of Norway has an opening for a permanent (i.e., tenured) position as a research economist.

In the other half, they provide research-based analyses to policy departments on topical issues related to monetary policy, financial stability, macroprudential policy, and financial markets. Researchers have the potential to work with rich administrative data on households, firms, and banks. Research economists disseminate relevant internal and external research to the Bank’s staff and liaison with academic and research institutions. The research department consists of 12 full-time research economists as well as research assistants who support the economists.
