Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Economic Analysis Group (EAG) of the Antitrust Division has openings for lateral economists in 2015. Economists with the Antitrust Division work in teams with attorneys and other economists to analyze industries, evaluate the competitive implications of proposed mergers, comment on proposed regulations and legislation, and provide expert testimony and support in antitrust litigation. The Antitrust Division is particularly focused on promoting competition for goods and services whose price and quality are of great importance for people throughout the United States. While many economists at the Antitrust Division have a background in industrial organization, we value the skills found throughout the fields of applied microeconomics.

Smart, creative people who like working in teams and enjoy applying economics to new problems should apply to this job through the USAJOBS website by August 10th: https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/409216900.
The openings are at GS14 and GS15 levels; you must apply for each level at which you'd like to be considered.

Antitrust Division is an equal opportunity employer, but U.S. citizenship is required and a Ph.D. is encouraged for functional qualification. The Antitrust Division web site is at http://www.usdoj.gov/atr/. For questions, contact us at atr.eag@usdoj.gov.
