Full Text of JOE Listing:
The Division of Price and Index Number Research expects to have an opening for a Ph.D. economist. Duties are divided equally between (1) research leading to conference presentations and publications in refereed journals, and (2) consulting and analytical activities that directly support BLS price and expenditure measurement programs: the Consumer Price Index, Producer Price Indexes, Import and Export Price Indexes, and the Consumer Expenditure Survey. Educational field of concentration is less important than the desire and ability to carry out innovative theoretical or econometric analyses.
Starting salary for a recent Ph.D. ranges from $75,621 to $116,901, depending on experience and research accomplishments. For full consideration, submit application materials through JOE by December 1, 2014. We will attend the ASSA meetings. U.S. citizenship is required. BLS is an equal opportunity employer. This announcement is independent of other BLS announcements.
