Economist:
The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), an independent regulatory agency in the executive branch of the federal government, is seeking highly motivated economists with interests in applied econometrics, capital markets, financial economics, financial modeling, housing and mortgage markets, real estate, and secondary mortgage markets. Ph.D. in economics or finance preferred. Effective candidates must exhibit sound empirical research skills as well as effective written and oral communication skills. Salary is 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 on housing goals, risk-based capital models, house price indexes, 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
