Full Text of JOE Listing:

Don’t let the generic position title fool you. This is not your typical government Economist position. It is a UNIQUE federal job at the intersection of civil rights law enforcement and microeconomics. Our team of PhD-level Economists within Research and Analytic Services (RAS) at EEOC conduct independent and objective analyses of employer-specific data to assess claims of discrimination in employment and testify as experts in court.

- PhD in Economics (with expertise/experience in labor economics) already awarded or expected by June/July 2022
- Motivation for a career in public service
- Enthusiasm for one’s professional work to have a real-life impact
- Strong data analytic skills
- Proficiency in SAS, STATA, and/or R (programming experience/interest in R-Shiny is a plus)
- Excellent communication, writing, and interpersonal skills
- Ability to present complex technical information to non-technical audiences
