The Research Department of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) is searching for junior and mid-level economists as well as senior research economists in the areas of Macroeconomics, International Finance, Monetary and Fiscal Policy, and Credit and Banking.


Successful candidates should possess: (1) strong technical skills; (2) a record of–or good prospects for—high-quality, original research in peer-reviewed journals; (3) the ability to communicate with a wide range of potential audiences; and (4) an interest in policy issues in the region. For the senior positions we particularly seek individuals who not only possess a strong publication record and policy engagement but who can also provide advice to upper management on key macroeconomic policy options based on research. They are also expected to mentor junior colleagues in publishing.
