The Congressional Research Service (CRS), Domestic Social Policy Division is accepting applications for an Analyst in Income Security (Retirement Policy) under the 2017 Graduate Recruit Program. The selected candidate will specialize in either: (1) private U. S. retirement policy. Examples include: measurement of retirement income and wealth; economic and health shocks in retirement; the role of defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans in retirement savings; decumulation of retirement wealth, including options for annuitization; insights from behavioral economics on retirement readiness and income security; and labor force issues related to older workers. Or, (2) public U. S. retirement policy (Social Security). Examples of key issues include: the long-run solvency of the Social Security trust funds; distributional impact on beneficiaries of proposals for reform; and the role of Social Security in improving the economic well-being of vulnerable segments of the population. In either case, the candidate would be expected to have a knowledge of the interrelationship of Social Security with private pensions and personal savings for income security in retirement.
