The IMF’s Institute for Capacity Development (ICD) is seeking a qualified candidate to fill a position of Resident Macroeconomic Frameworks Advisor to cover Sub-Saharan Africa. The Advisor will provide technical assistance (TA) in macroeconomic frameworks to Sub-Saharan African countries. The successful candidate will be based at the East Africa Regional Capacity Development Center (AFE) in Dar es Salaam. AFE is one of the five Regional Capacity Development Centers (the AFRITACs) of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) operating in Africa and the advisor will focus primarily on AFE’s member countries: Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda.
The aim of macroeconomic frameworks TA is to help recipient countries improve the macroeconomic forecasting and policy analysis capabilities of government institutions in support of their policy decision-making process. Depending on country needs and capacity, TA projects may entail assisting country officials in building, maintaining, documenting, operating, and interpreting a range of macroeconomic forecasting tools, from Excel-based, sectoral-relationship frameworks with supporting economic projection equations, to semi-structural gap models or even structural DSGE models of national economies. In view of the capacity constraints and limited resources of these countries, the work agenda may also include assistance with the implementation of basic elements of macroeconomic diagnostics, such as the analysis of equilibrium exchange rates, output gaps, and the basics of debt sustainability analysis.
The ICD-backstopped Macroeconomic Frameworks Advisor will undertake these activities through TA missions, TA-related training engagements, and peer-to-peer learning activities, either alone or together with IMF staff and/or specialized short-term experts (STX) employed by the IMF. She/he will coordinate closely with ICD’s capacity development (CD) delivery divisions, the African department (AFR) and the IMF−African Training Institute (ATI) to ensure consistency with other IMF CD activities in the region. She/he will also coordinate with other IMF Resident Advisors working on related topics in AFE and the region at large.
Among the main tasks, the Macroeconomic Frameworks Advisor will:

The selected candidate should be prepared to take up the position in Dar es Salaam as soon as possible. The initial appointment will be for a period of 1 year with the possibility for extension contingent on performance and ongoing budget/business needs.
Qualifications
The successful candidate should have:
(i) a post-graduate degree in Economics;
(ii) at least five years of relevant professional experience, with practical knowledge of the IMF’s financial programming framework—experience as an IMF country desk economist and/or delivering IMF’s technical assistance would be a plus;
(iii) excellent data management and analytical skills, including the use of MS Excel and econometric applications;
(iv) Extensive practical experience in the development of macro-modeling tools, including in developing countries with limited statistical capacities and in in using relevant software—knowledge of EViews, Matlab, Dynare, and Iris would be a plus;
(v) Excellent written and oral communication skills in English, with proficiency in French desirable, but not required; and
(vi) exceptional organizational, interpersonal, and diplomatic skills, as well as the ability to work well in teams.
Preference will be given to candidates who have practical experience in a senior or advisory position within a ministry of finance, central bank, or international financial institution, and who can additionally show experience in managing and overseeing TA work in macroeconomic frameworks or related areas, familiarity with the RBM and CDMAP, and coordinating with donors.
