>BSR seeks a junior or senior economist with solid communication skills who
>can meet the challenge of developing, managing, and promoting BSR's large,
>policy-relevant economics portfolio. Candidates should have a PhD and
>demonstrated research background in, e.g., labor economics, health
>economics, econometrics, macroeconomics, public finance, behavioral
>economics, or economic demography. Economists at BSR work at the frontiers
>of economic research and other behavioral and life disciplines across many
>areas, identify new priority areas for research, develop and manage
>multimillion dollar initiatives, and collaborate with other federal
>agencies and the National Academies of Science. Up to 20% of time may be
>devoted to original research.

>BSR funds domestic and international research (almost $40M in 2008) on
>retirement, health, and infrastructure development (e.g., the Health and
>Retirement Study). BSR-funded research products are often used by Congress
>and the Executive Branch.
>
>BSR sponsors research on individual and population aging including the
>economic and public policy implications of work/retirement decisions and
>health economics. Current initiatives recommended by a recent high level
>review of BSR include adapting behavioral economics to health issues;
>developing national non-market satellite accounts for health and
>wellbeing; forecasting retirement and Medicare and Social Security;
>neuroeconomics; macro consequences of population aging; early life
>determinants of adult health; patterns of life-cycle wealth; and
>developing international data sets for comparative analysis. See
