The Congressional Budget Office is a small nonpartisan agency that provides economic and budgetary analysis to the Congress. CBO’s Budget Analysis Division seeks an analyst for its Natural and Physical Resources Cost Estimates Unit, which provides multiyear projections and cost estimates for legislative proposals related to natural resources and the environment, agriculture, transportation, science, energy, technology, and general government activities. The analyst’s portfolio will primarily consist of programs related to energy resources, science and technology development, and the use of the electromagnetic spectrum for commercial telecommunications services.

The Congress relies on CBO’s work to prepare its annual budget plans, review the President’s budget proposals, and evaluate the budgetary effects of legislation. CBO’s analysts work closely with Congressional staff and federal agency officials; they have wide-ranging responsibilities and often contribute significantly to the legislative and budget process.
