Econometric Adviser
£48,000 - £57,600
London

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) recently completed its first year as a newly created agency during which it worked hard to promote competition and make markets work well for consumers, businesses and the economy in the UK, and to realise tangible benefits for consumers. Joining us now at the start of our second year offers a uniquely and exciting professional opportunity.

We are looking for two talented individuals to join our Econometrics team. These are varied roles where you'll work across the full range of projects the CMA undertakes (e.g. mergers, market studies, competition and consumer enforcement cases, and regulatory appeals). These roles offer an exceptional opportunity to gain experience in the wide range of work carried out by the CMA, developing a deep understanding of competition economics and quantitative techniques used in the field.

We expect that you'll be degree qualified (with a significant emphasis on econometrics) potentially enhanced by a post-graduate qualification, that you have an excellent understanding of a range of econometric techniques and experience applying those technics to real life applications. Practical experience of implementing these in a competition or consumer setting would be a considerable advantage, but isn't considered to be essential. You should offer a blend of strong analysis and reporting skills and be able to advise and support non-technical colleagues and audiences, even when communicating complex information.

In addition to a competitive salary the CMA also offers generous other benefits like an excellent Civil Service pension scheme, 31 and a half days annual leave, favourable consideration of flexible working options as well as generous maternity/paternity leave provision in excess of statutory requirements.

Closing date for applications: 15th June 2015

We are an equal opportunities employer.
