Economic Research Analyst Position with the ANTITRUST DIVISION
The
Economic Analysis Group in the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of
Justice has openings for full-time economic research analysts in Washington,
DC. The Economic Analysis Group has
approximately 50 economists who provide economic analysis for antitrust cases
brought by the Division. The primary
focus of our work is applied microeconomics, with an emphasis on competitive
interactions between firms in specific markets.
Research analysts work closely with staff economists to define relevant
product and geographic markets, determine pricing patterns, provide statistical
analysis of industry behavior, find trends in large datasets, and prepare
materials (such as maps, data, charts, and graphs) that may be required for
litigation. Duties may also include
assisting staff economists working on articles for publication in economic
journals.
The
Economic Analysis Group is looking for detail-oriented highly motivated
individuals interested in economics or math who have recently graduated or
expect to graduate soon (by August 2012).
This position qualifies for a Civil Service rating of GS-7 (annual pay
currently $42,209). A grade point
average of 3.0 or better is required, and you must be a U.S. citizen. Experience in working with spreadsheets,
statistics, computer programming, and econometrics is useful. Course work in statistics, econometrics,
calculus, and linear algebra is also useful. A formal application process
through the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) will be required.
TO APPLY: submit a resume, a short writing
sample on an economic topic, three letters of reference, and a copy of your
college transcript to:
U.S. Department of Justice
Antitrust Division
We prefer that you e-mail all materials. All applications must be received by
September 30, 2012, though they will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
