Academic for Economic Statistics

Do you want to work with data and society-descriptive business statistics? Are you eager for a job where you are involved in the entire process, from data collection and quality assurance to the preparation of the statistics and the dissemination of the final results? Then we have an exciting position for you in the Konjunkturstatistik office! Whether you have a lot or a little experience with similar tasks is not decisive – the most important is that you have the abilities and the courage to work with data and statistics and also want to work with the coding of the production systems themselves.

Job Content

The Konjunkturstatistik office publishes a range of statistics in the business sector with both monthly, quarterly and annual frequencies. You will be responsible for the monthly conjuncture barometers for the industries as well as for the monthly unemployment statistics .

In addition, you may over time become involved in other of the office's statistics and you will certainly also be involved in a large cross-cutting project at Statistics Denmark, whose primary purpose is to reorganize the production systems into more uniform and modern tools. Both the conjuncture barometers and the unemployment statistics have already taken the first steps in this direction, as production has been migrated from SAS to R.

The office currently consists of 17 employees, well distributed in terms of educational background, professional groups and experience.

Qualifications

You will receive thorough training from an experienced colleague, but we expect that you (for example through your education) have experience with working with data and with a certain degree of coding. It will be a great advantage if you have experience with R, and you will also need to acquire Python competencies over time. First and foremost, you must have an interest in the process of producing statistics from data, and also the knowledge and societal description that the statistics give rise to.

We imagine that you have a master's degree in social or natural sciences.

Salary and Employment

Salary and terms of employment are based on qualifications in accordance with the relevant collective agreement. There may possibly be negotiations for qualification supplements to the position.

The employment will as a rule be as an assistant/upper secondary civil servant under the current agreement for academics concluded between the Ministry of Finance and a number of academic organizations.

The employment will be full-time and as soon as possible.
