Quantitative Investigator for the Analysis Unit

Do you want to work for the Swedish government and contribute to a well-functioning labor market? At the Unemployment Insurance Inspection Agency (IAF), we work to ensure that some of Sweden's most important security systems function correctly. We primarily achieve this through supervision and follow-up of unemployment insurance and sanctions within activity support, development allowance, and establishment allowance, to ensure that those seeking benefits are treated in a legally secure manner by unemployment funds, the Swedish Public Employment Service, and the Swedish Social Insurance Agency.

The Analysis Unit is now seeking an investigator with quantitative methodological competence. We work in a professional and stimulating environment with good opportunities to actively participate in the development of our operations.

We offer you a developmental role in a knowledge-based organization where your skills contribute to our results. We use efficient working methods with cross-professional work groups and digital solutions that facilitate the work. We encourage competence development and are constantly working to improve our working methods and approaches.

We work in nice premises in the heart of Katrineholm with good connections to Stockholm, Eskilstuna, Västerås, and Norrköping. We offer excellent opportunities for remote work, and if you commute, you have the possibility to work during your travel time.

At the agency, employees come from backgrounds including political science, economics, law, and statistics. We work in audit groups where competencies complement each other. More information can be found at https://www.iaf.se/jobba-hos-oss/ (https://www.iaf.se/jobba-hos-oss/).
