Position Title/Short Description

Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Environmental Protection Agency is recruiting research economists to join its National Center for Environmental Economics (NCEE). NCEE's mission is to advance the theory and practice of economics and risk analysis within EPA (www.epa.gov/aboutepa/about-office-policy-op#NCEE). NCEE serves as a center of expertise for cutting-edge policy analysis and research in environmental economics (www.epa.gov/economics).

NCEE economists engage in both fast-paced efforts to apply economic reasoning in real-time regulatory development, and longer-term research projects to inform the Agency’s strategic direction. NCEE is particularly interested in candidates with expertise in valuation of water quality, valuation of reduced chemical risk, energy sector modeling, and economic modeling of how environmental issues and policies affect the economy and welfare.

Applicants should have a completed PhD in economics by August 2019. Full U.S. citizenship required and must be affirmed in application for consideration. Salaries are competitive. EPA is an equal opportunity employer. Send application questions to NCEE@epa.gov.

Informational interviews are planned for the ASSA meetings. Applications are requested by early December 2018 for full consideration.
