Opportunities at CBO for Assistant Analyst

The Congressional Budget Office, a small nonpartisan agency that provides economic and budgetary analysis to the Congress, is seeking assistant analysts to assist in analyzing policy issues. The current opening is specifically related to the defense budget, veterans’ affairs, and homeland security but we anticipate several more openings in the Budget Analysis Division.

Candidates must have a bachelor's degree in the physical sciences, natural sciences, economics, computer science, mathematics, statistics, policy analysis, political science, or related field, and they must have had a significant amount of quantitative coursework. 

The position is an opportunity to improve modeling, programming, and analytic skills in a research-intensive environment and to gain experience with the defense budget and national security policy. Assistant Analysts often pursue professional or graduate degrees in fields such as economics and finance following their two- to three-year appointments at CBO. This position is only for those with undergraduate degrees; it is not for people who have a graduate degree or are pursuing one.

I have attached the announcement and encourage you to forward to recent grads or alumni who may be interested in this opportunity. They can also view the complete announcement and apply online at www.cbo.gov/careers.
