hace 4 semanas
RAND is seeking highly motivated quantitative cost analysts and cost estimators to support its work across all research areas, including national security, homeland security, labor and population, education, health, criminal and civil justice, environment, and other policy areas.

You will use rigorous analytic methods, including Analysis of Alternatives (AoA), Business Case Analysis (BCA), benefit-cost analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis, and other related analyses.
You will contribute to multidisciplinary project teams to analyze policy problems where the technical details matter. Your responsibilities will include contributing to the development of research approaches to solve complex government policy problems, executing key project tasks, and applying a broad range of analytically rigorous, quantitative and/or qualitative research tools, methods, and skills.
You will also assist in communicating the results of research to decision-makers through documents, PowerPoint briefings, and other media.

Experience
Relevant professional experience should demonstrate the applicant's ability to execute cost analysis using analytically rigorous methods.
Even though all levels of cost analysts are sought, successful applicants with more than 10 years of professional experience, that will be hired as senior cost analysts, will have demonstrated leadership experience through the following activities: mentoring or developing junior staff members, leading and directing multi-disciplinary teams, setting project standards and monitoring progress, engaging with stakeholders, and communicating research results to policy-making audiences.

Application Materials
Successful applications will include documentation in the application package of academic and professional activities that meet stated qualifications. CV, cover letter, and a writing sample are required (PDF documents are preferred). The writing sample can use a recent, previously written paper or report (e.g., journal article, master's thesis or paper written for coursework, prior employment, or internship). Applicants with fields of study or work experience in which they have not produced written products (e.g., model development), or in which written products have dissemination restrictions, may submit a short, written summary (i.e., less than one page) of one or more recent products they have developed.
