Full Text of JOE Listing:
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is a small nonpartisan agency that provides Congress with the objective, timely analyses needed for economic and budgetary decisions. CBO seeks economists who have a broad range of policy interests, excellent quantitative skills, strong writing ability, and an interest in working on issues of legislative interest to Congress.

Current openings for economists with PhD degrees or Master’s degrees with appropriate professional experience are in health economics, public economics, labor/microsimulation economics, and macroeconomics.

The Macroeconomist position has not been previously posted. For that position we are looking for a macroeconomist who can contribute to CBO’s analysis of major developments in the economy and has research interests in analysis of current economic developments and projections of economic trends. Preference will be given to candidates with an empirical and econometric background.

Other openings include a Health Economics Writer with interest in the budgetary implications of health policies and a strong track record of writing about complex health policy issues for non-technical audiences and a Programmer/Analyst to work with senior economists using complex models to analyze the effects of proposed changes in federal health care programs and policies.

CBO analysts address challenging substantive issues in economics and public policy while working in a collegial environment that provides opportunities for research on topics relevant to the agency’s endeavors. Employees contribute to the full range of their division's responsibilities by constructing and improving cutting-edge models that underlie CBO's policy analyses and preparing longer-term CBO studies, shorter-term memoranda, and testimonies.

CBO IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
