The USITC is an independent federal agency that provides objective economic assessments of government policies, commercial practices, and other issues related to international trade and investment. The agency is consistently ranked as one of best places to work among federal agencies.

They have access to a large number of international trade experts, data and other research resources, training opportunities, travel to domestic and international conferences, and an active seminar series and visiting scholar program.

The Office of Economics anticipates openings for junior- and senior-level international economists. Candidates for the junior position are expected to have completed a Ph.D. by the date of appointment; candidates for the senior position are expected to show an active publication record. Researchers in all areas of international economics are encouraged to apply.
