Apply your technical skills to real world economic questions
Our research function is wide ranging with many opportunities to work across regulatory, monetary and financial stability research projects.
Researchers at the Bank of England have access to unique datasets and an ample research library. You can use our facilities to explore critical issues facing the UK economy. You will also have opportunities to be involved in external debates and to be published in top economic and finance journals like:
- The American Economic Review,
- Review of Economic Studies,
- Journal of Financial Economics
- Review of Financial Studies
You can potentially also publish work in leading science and interdisciplinary journals like Nature Communications, and our own blog Bank Underground.
Our researchers come from all over the world - bringing with them a wealth of varied perspectives. We value a collaborative environment where colleagues can continually develop through world class conferences, seminars, academic visits and by working alongside policymakers.
