The HKIMR accepts applications for visiting positions on an ongoing and highly competitive basis under the two following programmes. The HKIMR offers an attractive remuneration package, including travel and accommodation allowances. 

If you are interested and meet the specific requirements, please email a proposal of 3-5 pages together with your curriculum vita to Hong Kong Institute for Monetary and Financial Research ([email protected]). The Council of Advisers reviews proposals on a quarterly basis. Since the Council frequently requests clarifications of the proposed projects, applicants need to apply well in advance of their desired dates of visit.

The length of the visits is typically one month. Applicants are invited to submit proposals consistent with the Institute's overall objective of promoting research that is of strategic importance to Hong Kong and the regional economies, specifically in the following areas: 

1. Monetary and Financial Stability in Hong Kong and Mainland China; 

2. Structural economic and financial issues and developments in the Asian region; 

3. Global monetary and financial issues and developments with implications for Asia; 

Please note that studies focusing on issue without implications for monetary and financial stability are not in line with the HKIMR's research objective and will be given lower priority.

Applicants typically hold a PhD in economics or finance, with specialization in macroeconomics or financial economics and a track record of publications in refereed scholarly journals. Good knowledge of the Asian region and experience in applied research is added advantage.
