S: Competitive

One of the world's leading economics consulting firms, Compass Lexecon provides law firms, corporations and government clients with clear analysis of complex issues. Our experience and expertise apply to virtually any question of economics, in virtually any context of the law or business. Our experts and staff are known for developing a thorough understanding of the issues that our clients face, relating those issues to relevant economic theory, supporting our analysis with solid and persuasive empirical evidence, and presenting our findings in an understandable manner.

About the Opportunity:
We are currently recruiting Analysts for positions beginning in Fall 2017 and Summer 2018 at our Princeton office.

Analysts are responsible for the completion of qualitative and quantitative research and analysis projects, and are involved in nearly all aspects of project work, interacting closely with other analysts, economists and case supervisors in researching and analyzing data used to prepare final work product. Analysts are expected, at a minimum, to perform this work after having been given clear instructions. They are also expected to demonstrate sound analytical judgment and to progress to a level of initiative consistent with the ability to satisfactorily recommend appropriate research, analyses and actions and to implement them with continued consultation of supervisors.

Key Responsibilities:
The position demands knowledge of or interest in economics, a broad range of research skills, and the ability to perform quantitative analysis. Analysts are involved in nearly all aspects of project work, interacting closely with other analysts, directors, and firm principals in analyzing data, preparing client presentations, and drafting reports. Through their involvement, Analysts 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.

Preferred Skills:
Preferred applicants will have completed significant coursework in economics or related areas. Demonstration of quantitative skills, writing ability, and qualitative skills are required. Knowledge of Excel and statistical programming packages such as STATA or SAS are preferred. Candidates must be highly motivated, analytical, detail oriented, able to work independently or in teams, and have excellent oral and written communication skills.

Basic Qualifications:
We seek candidates who possess strong academic backgrounds. Applicants must have a bachelor's degree in Economics or a related field, and significant quantitative course work.
