CBO’s Budget Analysis Division seeks an analyst to focus on coverage of mental health and substance abuse services in the Medicaid program and in related programs administered by the Department of Health and Human Services. CBO’s health analysts work closely with key Congressional staff as they develop federal health care policy.

This position requires strong skills in quantitative methods; the desire to make a direct contribution to the development of health policy in a nonpartisan setting; the ability to develop and maintain spreadsheet models for analysis of health policies; experience applying empirical evidence to policy analysis; the ability to clearly explain and defend analytical results orally and in writing to colleagues, Congressional staff, Members of Congress, and the public; and the ability to work on many projects simultaneously, frequently under tight deadlines. Recent experience in policy analysis is required. Knowledge of the federal budget process and health care financing and familiarity with Medicaid or other federal health care programs is strongly preferred. Please submit a cover letter, résumé, salary history, a brief writing sample, and contact information for three references at www.cbo.gov/careers. Incomplete applications will not be considered. Although there is no deadline, this position may be closed when CBO has received a sufficient number of applications from qualified candidates.
