We're still looking for an economist--unlike academia, we have not been
deluged with applications. We are a research office of eight (three PhDs
and an opening with the departure of another), and there is some time to do
research of one's choice in addition to the policy research needed by the
state. We're in a lovely location. The full job
description is below, and the requirements are flexible--experience in
forecasting would be great. Please contact me if you have questions but
might be interested.
