Researchers

​Research economists are PhD economists with varying policy responsibilities, depending on personal experience. The more experienced research economists – research advisers – have more policy responsibilities. All research economists have fixed-term assignments.

Additionally, the research unit recruits scientific advisers, research fellows and other visiting scholars to strengthen the Bank’s research function.

Scientific advisers are particularly distinguished international academic researchers who besides their own research take actively part in the development of the research activities of the unit and significantly promote networking. Cooperation with scientific advisers is usually long term (even though visits can be short).

Research fellows are established international academic researchers. In addition to conducting and publishing research on the core areas of the Bank’s research, research fellows are expected to contribute by helping staff members to interact and network with external academic researchers. The positions are fixed term, typically including several visits.

Through our visiting scholars programme we recruit foreign and Finnish post-doctoral researchers under a fixed term contract.
