Matrix Economics is a boutique economics consulting firm, specializing in high‐profile antitrust litigation and merger reviews. We bring fresh ideas to identify, develop, and implement appropriate analytical solutions to complex problems on behalf of law firms, corporations, and government agencies. We assist our clients in developing rigorous and compelling economic evidence to evaluate issues of market definition, market power, and competitive effects of alleged anticompetitive conduct or proposed mergers. We have positions open at the Associate level.

Responsibilities

Our Associates work closely with in‐house and academic experts, colleagues, and clients to solve real‐world complex issues in a dynamic, collaborative environment. This work entails:

- Identifying relevant economic issues and designing litigation‐proof analyses that appropriately marry quantitative research with the qualitative record to address such issues;

- Conducting research into firm, industry, and marketplace behavior through a variety of sources such as academic studies, industry reports, and company documents;

- Developing and implementing careful data‐driven approaches, including econometric analyses and other sophisticated quantitative analyses of large datasets;

- Coordinating multiple workstreams and guiding colleagues to work efficiently towards a common goal within the required timeline;

- Assisting in the preparation of expert reports and other client deliverables;

- Training and mentoring less experienced colleagues;

- Working the hours necessary to meet inflexible client deadlines.

We are seeking highly‐motivated PhD candidates in economics, statistics, or a related subject, with an interest in analyzing real‐world problems in time‐sensitive, dynamic situations. We place a high value on intellectual curiosity, strong analytical and quantitative skills, the ability to communicate clearly in writing and orally, a willingness to take initiative, a dedication to high quality, a strong work ethic, attention to detail, critical thinking, creativity, good interpersonal skills, good time management and organization skills, and a positive team‐oriented attitude. Associates are expected to learn quickly, apply their academic training to diverse settings, provide creative solutions to complex problems, efficiently coordinate analytical tasks, organize and present their work well, and communicate effectively with colleagues and clients.
