Please see the job ad below (note the tight deadline). I wonder whether this is of interest to some of your students or others from your networks. I think this is going to be an exciting job – the Bank is pouring significant resources into this work, and the group is pretty empowered to really take this agenda and run with it. I would love to see them recruit someone top-notch. The one caveat is that they will be looking for someone quite a bit of work experience. Happy to talk if you know someone.
