The Financial Analysis Division is seeking a financial modeler. The division develops financial models to estimate the cost of credit and insurance programs and to forecast financial variables such as stock prices, interest rates, and housing-market variables. The division’s work focuses on the risks and costs facing the federal government and how various policies might mitigate them. Collaborating with a large network of academic and industry specialists, the division also produces reports about financial issues affecting the federal government.

CBO’s analysis plays an important role in Congressional deliberations on policy alternatives, and the financial modeler will work closely with other CBO staff to prepare studies, reports, and testimony for the Congress. Analysts are also encouraged to turn CBO projects and independent research into CBO working papers and outside publications.
