Economist or Senior Economist
Our East Coast Competition Practice is currently recruiting Economists for an immediate start in our Washington, DC and Boston offices. Please indicate location preference (Washington DC, Boston, or either) in your cover letter. The position demands strong ability to perform quantitative analysis, knowledge of or interest in economics, and a broad range of research skills. An Economist is involved in nearly all aspects of project work, interacting closely with analysts, directors, and firm principals in analyzing data, preparing client presentations, and drafting reports. Through their involvement, Economists gain a comprehensive understanding of the industries and public policy issues relevant to the projects we work on. As skills and competencies develop, there will be greater opportunity for independent work and client interaction.
