We are looking for a world-class economist to join our highly motivated team. In this role, you will be using economic forecasting models to predict for financial variables, back testing economically-motivated strategies for trading, doing analysis of economic time series for large countries, and developing robust and parsimonious forecasting models for economic time series. In addition, you will be responsible for understanding the meaningful intricacies of economic releases and determining the key differences between these releases for the same economic statistic across different countries.

The ideal candidate will have: 2-6 years experience successfully building macroeconomic forecasting models; experience working closely with global economic data sets and financial market data; strong statistical language programming skills in SAS, R, Matlab, or S+; and a masters or PhD in economics, econometrics or financial economics from a top university or business school. Candidates must also possess a strong interest in economics and forecasting, as well as a genuine interest in analyzing complex datasets and tackling challenging projects. Successful candidates will be innately curious, resourceful, well-organized, and will have a demonstrable dedication to detail. Although industry experience is a plus, we will also consider outstanding candidates looking to transition from advanced-degree programs or university-level faculty positions.
