**Your role***

- prepare documents for meetings with experts from national authorities;
- develop and refine methods used to estimate distributional financial accounts;
- maintain and improve the code used to produce distributional financial accounts (which is programmed with R);
- liaise with those colleagues from the ECB and the European System of Central Banks responsible for analysing data to explain the compilation process and assist with specific investigations;
- carry out a study of distributional wealth accounts and present the results at an internal seminar and/or to experts from national authorities.

This position will offer you excellent opportunities to take part in conceptual, methodological and operational work on statistics in a policymaking institution. You will work independently under the guidance of a mentor and be part of a multicultural team that strives for continuous innovation to make a positive impact on the lives of European citizens.

**Qualifications, experience and skills***
- Essential:

- a master’s degree and at least two years of PhD studies in the field of economics, econometrics, statistics, mathematics, social sciences or another relevant field;
- a proven ability to code using R, Python, MATLAB, Stata or another programming language;
- experience dealing with large and complex datasets, such as survey data or microdata;
- a good knowledge of the MS Office package;
- an advanced (C1) command of English and an intermediate (B1) command of at least one other official language of the EU, according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

Desired:

- knowledge of national accounts (financial and/or non-financial) or related economic statistics (e.g. monetary, financial and external statistics or household surveys), and experience using such data in applied research or analysis;
- knowledge or experience of financial instruments and/or statistical methods, such as statistical modelling and inference or data extrapolation methods;
- experience using R for analytical purposes;
- good drafting skills and the ability to explain complex concepts in non-technical terms.

You are curious and eager to learn, and want to further develop your ability to analyse complex information. You are keen to collaborate with others, pursue team goals and learn from other people’s diverse perspectives. You strive to know and anticipate stakeholder needs, and will signal any need for change and propose alternative solutions.

You are motivated to contribute to the ECB’s mission, to serve the citizens of the EU as a member of a public institution and to work with colleagues from all over Europe. You are keen to be part of our team and to use your skills and competencies to achieve the aims of this position.
