Traineeships (Secretariat of the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB))

You will be part of the Secretariat of the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB), a body of the European Union.

The ESRB, which brings together representatives from some 80 institutions as well as independent individuals chosen on the basis of their expertise, is responsible for the macroprudential oversight of the EU financial system. It contributes to the prevention and mitigation of systemic risk by collecting and analysing information (covering banks, insurers, asset managers, shadow banks, financial market infrastructures and other financial institutions and markets), monitoring macro-financial developments, and issuing warnings and recommendations to policymakers and supervisors. Further information is available on the ESRB’s website (www.esrb.europa.eu).

The ESRB Secretariat is part of the ECB. We provide analytical, statistical, logistical and administrative support to the ESRB.

To further enhance the diversity of our team, we particularly encourage applications from female candidates.

• identifying and analysing systemic risks to the EU financial system;
