Dynare is widely used in the academic world for research and teaching -purposes, and in various public and private bodies for performing policy -analysis exercises and as a support tool for forecasting exercises. - -The offered job consists in: -- designing algorithms, or adapting existing ones, for solving a wide array of - problems that arise when solving or estimating economic models -- writing the software implementation of these algorithms -- fixing software bugs -- interacting with users on the various user support channels -- giving training sessions at the annual Dynare Summer School (and possibly - during other events) - -The ideal candidate would have skills in the following fields: -- macroeconomic modeling (in particular DSGE models) -- econometrics (in particular time series and Bayesian techniques) -- applied mathematics (especially numerical linear algebra) -- computer science (basic algorithmics) -- computer programming - -Experience in all these fields is not a strict requirement, but the candidate -is expected to display strong abilities to learn autonomously in the areas -where he/she lacks knowledge. - -Since Dynare is written in MATLAB, Octave, C++ and Julia, some experience with -at least one of these programming languages (or with another scientific -programming language, such as Fortran, Python or R) is a requirement. A -familiarity with Git (the distributed version-control system) is an asset, -since that technology is used for managing the source code of Dynare. - -Holding a PhD in economics, computer science or applied mathematics is an asset -but is not required. Depending on the candidate’s profile, a given percentage -of the work time could be dedicated to the pursuit of his/her personal research -projects. - -The job is based in Paris, France. The CEPREMAP premises are on the same campus -as [École Normale Supérieure](http://www.ens.fr/en) (campus Jourdan) and [Paris -School of Economics](http://parisschoolofeconomics.eu/en/), which provide a -stimulating intellectual environment, with many world-class researchers in -economics on-site and the possibility of attending several research seminars in -economics. - -Knowledge of French is not a requirement. - -The position is a fixed-term one year contract, starting in fall 2019. It may -be renewed or converted into a permanent position, depending on the direction -taken by the project. - -Salary depends on qualification and experience. - -Applications, with a resume, an example computer program and possibly a -research paper, should be sent to: -[recruitment@dynare.org](mailto:recruitment@dynare.org)
