Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Ecosystems Analytics team at Facebook is interested in hiring PhD economists of all levels to join our team. Our primary mandate is to study core company metrics and understand the causal factors that underlie their movement. Our results help drive high level company strategy and inform best practices throughout the company. You will use a combination of both applied econometrics and economic theory to guide research in areas such as understanding and measuring network-level effects across the platform, forecasting trends in user engagement on the platform, and other ad hoc projects of special interest to the company.
