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, and prepare other materials (such as data, charts, and graphs) that may be required for litigation. Duties also include assisting staff economists working on articles for publication in economic journals. The Economic Analysis Group is looking for highly motivated individuals with an interest in economics who have recently graduated or expect to graduate soon. These positions qualify for a Civil Service rating of GS-5, 7 or 9 (annual pay between $29,604 and $44,856), depending upon qualifications. A grade point average of 3.0 or better is required and you must be a U.S. citizen. Experience in working with spreadsheets, computer databases, computer programming and statistics is useful but not essential.
TO APPLY: submit a resume, a short writing sample, three references, and a copy of your college transcript to:
