About the job
The Role
We’re seeking a highly motivated PhD student in economics to join our Central Research team in the Discretionary Macro and Fixed Income Division in New York. You’ll work on live research questions, not academic exercises, and your output will feed directly into portfolio managers’ investment processes. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and wants to deepen their understanding of macro markets.
What You’ll Do
As part of a close-knit team, you’ll build tools and analyze large datasets to generate actionable macroeconomic insights for portfolio managers. Your work may include:
- Building quantitative models covering growth, inflation, labor markets, and monetary and fiscal policy across developed and emerging markets
- Conducting empirical research on macro themes such as policy transmission, term premia, and cross-country spillovers
- Developing and maintaining data and analytical tools that the broader research team can use
- Communicating findings clearly to researchers and portfolio managers, so your work informs live investment decisions
