Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has multiple Financial Economist positons available in the areas of Research and Risk Analysis. We seek candidates at entry and mid-career levels for the Research area and mid-career and senior levels for the Risk Analysis area. Entry level economists do not require banking research or experience. Mid-career and senior economists are expected to have experience in economics, banking, or finance.

Research Area
Financial Economists conduct research on issues related to banking, finance, deposit insurance, and risk measurement, among other topics. The research is disseminated in academic, industry, and FDIC conferences, journals, and publications. In addition, the economists support agency functions in several ways. For example, they develop, review, and maintain quantitative models used for measuring financial risks such as credit, interest rate, and operational risk. Economists may also perform policy focused research on current topics such as cross-border resolutions, international capital requirements, and the stability of deposit insurance systems. The FDIC has an active seminar series and economists have access to a wide range of proprietary data. The FDIC supports the Center for Financial Research (CFR) which organizes conferences, sponsors visiting scholars, funds academic studies, and undertakes other activities that support the agency’s research mission (visit https://fdic.gov/bank/analytical/cfr/ for more information).

Risk Analysis Area
Financial Economists monitor, evaluate, and report on conditions in the economy and financial markets. They identify emerging risks, and evaluate their impact on the economy, financial markets, the banking sector, and the Deposit Insurance Fund. Economists perform a variety of complex quantitative and qualitative analyses, both independently and as team leaders, and they present findings to FDIC senior leadership and other internal and external groups.
