The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has openings for junior and senior economists in 2012. Economists with interests in microeconomics, finance, capital markets, housing and mortgage markets, affordable housing, and survey design are encouraged to apply. Ph.D. in economics or finance preferred. Effective candidates must exhibit sound empirical research skills and effective written and oral communication skills. Salary dependent on education and experience.
FHFA is the safety and soundness and mission regulator of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac. Incumbents perform analyses of the programs, policies, and governance of the FHFA's regulated entities, along with developments affecting financial institutions and markets, secondary mortgage market operations, and other related topics to identify significant and emerging risks such as market, interest rate, operational and credit risks facing the entities. Topics of special interest include, but are not limited to corporate governance, housing goals, risk-based models, house price indexes, and survey design. Opportunities may involve any or a combination of research, policy, and examination work. FHFA employees enjoy all the standard federal benefits plus additional agency-specific benefits and competitive salaries not tied to the traditional Government's General Schedule pay system.
