Working at SEO Amsterdam Economics

Challenging assignments that make a difference, driven economists and econometricians who solve complex issues, and opportunities to develop yourself at one of the Netherlands’ best-known economic research agencies in the heart of Amsterdam.

SEO solves complex problems and evaluates policy. SEO offers clients a combination of the brightest minds, problem-solving skills based on over 75 years of experience, in-depth knowledge of various sectors and research areas, and a toolbox containing a wide range of quantitative and qualitative research techniques.

SEO is associated with the University of Amsterdam. We have access to the latest scientific methods and techniques and actively apply them in our research. This enables us to bring clarity to complex issues and resolve questions for our clients. The scientific basis on which we conduct our research leads to socially relevant, independent and reliable research.

SEO invests in its people. Training courses and promotion programmes ensure that knowledge of methods and techniques is kept up to date. Training and development programmes ensure a healthy flow of talent, which is an important part of our successful working method.

SEO is a small, flat organisation consisting of approximately 70 employees who are strongly focused on content. SEO employees are ambitious and work together on research. Management and supervisors are also closely involved in the substantive work. In addition to our permanent employees, we have a large network of national and international consultants.

SEO is located in the heart of Amsterdam, next to the Roeterseiland campus of the University of Amsterdam. This inspiring environment in vibrant Amsterdam gives us access to a large network of knowledge institutions, businesses and public institutions with whom we collaborate or for whom we answer questions. We also have a large international network and carry out assignments for organisations such as the World Bank, the IMF and foreign governments.
