Where you'll work
You will be working with Bank of England researchers, either within one of our Policy areas or within the Research Hub.
What you'll learn
This internship offers an invaluable opportunity to experience and contribute to economic analysis, policymaking and research, at a leading central bank. By working on a research project of live interest to the Bank, with Bank of England researchers, you will see first-hand how research is conducted and utilised within a policymaking institution. You will also be given an opportunity to present your research, and engage with researchers and policymakers from around the Bank.

PhD students with a desire to carry out innovative, policy-relevant research, and to find out more about what it is like to work in a policy institution and apply your technical expertise to live policy questions.
We are committed to nurturing a diverse and inclusive workforce, so we welcome applications from candidates with all backgrounds.
