Visiting Scholar Programme

Visiting Scholar programme

De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) invites external researchers to visit DNB to collaborate with the bank's research staff under the auspices of its Visiting Scholar Programme.

Its primary purpose is to bring in external research expertise on topics relevant to the core competencies of DNB in the fields of macroeconomics, monetary policy, payment systems, financial stability and economic policy. For the researchers who visit, DNB offers a highly professional and stimulating research environment in close proximity to the policymaking process.

Participating in the VSP

We consider applications from individual researchers with a strong research background.  Applications will only be considered from applicants with a strong record of publications in good quality journals. Young scholars are encouraged to apply.

We expect visiting scholars to actively participate to the research activities of DNB by presenting their works, attending seminars organized by the Research Department, giving feedback to researchers’ work and ideas, and contributing to our stimulating environment. 

Duration

Visiting scholarship will last from one to four weeks, depending on preferences and availabilities.

Funding

We offer a remuneration to cover all travel, accommodation and food expenses. The budget differs depending on the length of the visiting period.

Period

This is an open call. The first applications will be screened by end of April for visiting periods in May and June. Then, applications will be screened on a continuous basis but applicants need to apply at least 2 months before the requested period. Given the budget for this initiative, we will apply a sort of ‘first-in first-served’ basis.
