The Congressional Budget Office, a small nonpartisan agency that provides economic and budgetary analysis to the Congress, is seeking several assistant analysts to work in various divisions. Specific duties vary by division, but most include research assistance, statistical analysis, database management, graphics production, literature review, and quality assurance.
These are entry-level positions for a period not to exceed three years—ideal for those interested in substantive work experience before attending graduate school. These position are only for candidates who have or are completing a bachelor’s degree; it is not for those who are have or are completing a master’s degree.
Assistant Analysts often pursue professional or graduate degrees in fields such as economics and finance following their two- to three-year appointments at CBO.
