Norges Bank’s PhD internship program is directed toward PhD-students who are specializing within macroeconomics, econometrics, banking or finance. Internships will normally last three months. Interns are expected to collaborate closely with other researchers at Norges Bank, with the aim to pursue a project until publication in an international academic journal.
Candidates should be beyond the stage of first year PhD studies and should not be on the job market in the near future. Selection for internship positions will be based on a research statement of 2 pages, as well as CV and drafts of ongoing research. The research statement serves to ensure that the research interests of selected candidates align with the interests of Norges Bank.
During their stay, interns are expected to give at least one seminar, and to interact with both policy staff and fellow researchers. Co-authorship with Norges Bank staff is strongly encouraged. Within one year of starting the internship, the internship project should result in a Norges Bank Working Paper.
Accepted interns will have their travel costs to Norway covered, and receive a salary that covers accommodation and other costs of living in Norway.
Applications are submitted electronically through EconJobMarket.
Note that this a non-summer internship: interns are expected to be employed over the spring period (until mid june) or over the fall (after mid august).
Since 2012, 37 projects have been started.
