CBO’s Health, Retirement, and Long-Term Analysis Division is seeking a modeler for its Long-Term Analysis Unit (LTAU). LTAU carries out CBO’s long-term modeling initiatives, providing the Congress with long-term (30-year) projections of the federal budget under current law, as well as analyses of long-term trends and policy options in the areas of retirement, disability, and health care. Analysts in LTAU work closely with analysts in CBO’s other divisions, including the Macroeconomic Analysis, Tax Analysis, and Budget Analysis Divisions. Members of the unit make important contributions to CBO’s work, including its Long-Term Budget Outlook.

The successful candidate’s responsibilities will include developing and maintaining CBO’s long-term microsimulation model, constructing and improving models that underlie CBO’s policy analyses, conducting analyses of long-term budgetary issues, and preparing CBO reports.
