Full Text of JOE Listing:

The FCC’s Office of Economics and Analytics anticipates openings for economists in 2022. The current team of over 60 economists analyzes the telecommunications and/or electronic media industries to make policy recommendations to the Commission. Working in a collegial team environment with attorneys and engineers, economists apply their analytical and quantitative skills to rulemakings (the creation or dismantling of government regulations), mergers and transactions reviewed by the Commission, and Congressionally mandated reports. Economists also have the opportunity to publish working papers and other independent research related to communications and Commission priorities. In addition, the Office of Economics and Analytics maintains a seminar series. For more information, visit https://www.fcc.gov/economics-and-analytics.

Economists in all fields of applied microeconomics and industrial organization who communicate well and who enjoy working with a team of economists in an interdisciplinary environment are encouraged to apply. Experience with the telecommunications or media sectors or regulatory policy is not necessary. Completion of a Ph.D. degree by the time of hiring is preferred. The current salary range of GS-12 to GS-15 is $87,198 to $172,500. Starting salary will be based on educational achievements, work experience, and research accomplishments.
