Tokyo International Monetary Fund

Work for the IMF. Work for the World.

The IMF's Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (OAP) was established in Tokyo in 1997 in recognition of the growing importance of Asia in the global economy and the desire to deepen the IMF's engagement with the region. OAP conducts a range of activities related to regional surveillance, engagement with regional official and nonofficial fora, capacity building, and outreach. OAP seeks to enhance the understanding of the Fund's policies and activities in the region while keeping the Fund informed of both developments and regional perspectives on key issues.

With this as background, the office is strengthening its capacity to perform regional surveillance, with the aim to build a field office that plays a major role in delivering on this aspect of APD's mandate. In this capacity, and in coordination and collaboration with APD's regional surveillance division in HQ, the office conducts cross-country analysis and research, and coordinates with country teams to develop APD's views on IMF policy issues. The office also works with regional partners to strengthen the IMF's relationships in the region and to leverage outside institutions and expertise to find new ways to collaborate.

The selected candidate will primarily be expected to undertake regional analytical work, including by helping to prepare the APD REO and related research projects; and facilitate departmental collaboration on cross-country work. The selected candidate will also be involved in our engagement with regional official and nonofficial fora, as well as outreach to the region, and would be expected to build strong ties with regional partners and initiate cross-institutional projects and research. The selected candidate will be expected to allocate some amount of their time to OAP's other operational work.

The selected candidate is expected to take up his/her post in summer 2026.

Qualifications

In addition to the qualifications set forth in the job standards, the successful candidates will possess first-rate analytical and data management skills, strong insights about integrating political economy considerations into policy development, and strong interpersonal and teamwork skills. The candidate must be able to build relationships with our stakeholders and partners, to create a research community in the field. The candidate should be able to work well independently and creatively to formulate research questions and to turn ideas and economic analysis into helpful policy advice. S/he should be an enthusiastic team player, excel at time management and able to work under tight deadlines, with strong drafting and oral communications skills.
