Career opportunities

Contributing to policy improvements in the Netherlands — which means conducting research that enables politicians and policymakers to take well-considered decisions, for example on education and health care. The work conducted at CPB Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis, is of significance.

As a scientific staff member, you may be responsible for setting up and carrying out high-quality research. Or you may work on CPB's economic projections, on a national or global level. CPB has relatively many young staff members. YoungCPB (in Dutch) is an active club of staff members that organises lectures, get-togethers and study trips.
