Bank for International Settlements Senior Research Fellowships, Switzerland

About research at the BIS

The BIS carries out research to shed light on issues of core interest to the central bank community, to support meetings of Governors and other central bank officials, and to provide analytical backing for the activities of the various Basel-based committees. MED contributes to these tasks by conducting research on monetary and financial stability, monetary economics, macroeconomics and finance, financial markets, central bank governance and other institutional issues.

Qualifications and experience

Fellows will be selected through a competitive applications process.

While at the BIS, research fellows are expected to complete a research project for publication both in the BIS Working Papers series and in a leading journal. A proposal for a research project should accompany the application.

Selected candidates will be internationally recognised experts in the fields of banking, monetary policy and financial stability. They will have an outstanding publication record and a strong interest in policy-oriented research. They will have access to the extensive resources and networks at the BIS in conducting their research and in disseminating its findings.

Terms and conditions

The successful candidate will be offered a competitive monthly honorarium in keeping with the seniority of the described profile, as well as accommodation, travel costs, health insurance and, where appropriate, conference travel.
