**Job summary**:
The **Competition and Markets Authority** is undergoing an exciting expansion and has increased its presence with the establishment of new offices and a **Microeconomics Unit **in** Darlington**. The unit is based at the Darlington Economic Campus, alongside a range of government departments (such as HMT, DIT, BEIS, ONS, DLUHC and DoE). We are seeking recent or prospective graduates to join our growing team as Assistant Economists.

The new Microeconomics Unit leads the CMA’s economic research programme. Set up in response to the government-commissioned Penrose review, the Unit will provide analysis and expertise on the issues of UK competition, consumer rights, supply-side reforms, innovation and productivity. The ambition is for the Unit to become a micro-economic sibling for the Bank of England’s well-established public macro-economic role.

**Job description**:
As an **Assistant Econometrician** you will be responsible for carrying out quantitative analysis and research, under the supervision of more senior econometricians and economists. This includes identifying key issues, designing and conducting analysis, drawing conclusions and presenting them to colleagues and decision makers.

Projects that you may work on in the Microeconomics Unit include:

- The regular State of UK Competition report
- Research into live issues in competition policy, and structural reforms aimed at improving UK productivity
- The annual Positive Impact report and looking for ways to improve how we measure the CMA’s impact
- The CMA’s ongoing programme of ex post studies into past competition policy interventions

You will join a committed community of economists, working in a collaborative, collegiate atmosphere. We are a very diverse team; our economists have a range of backgrounds and nationalities. You will work in agile, dedicated teams undertaking economic analysis and research on key issues in microeconomics. You will be provided with structured training opportunities covering both technical, economic skills and more general training; you will also be expected to contribute to the intellectual development of the team of professional economists.

You will be ideally placed to identify and benefit from opportunities for career progression within the Microeconomics Unit and across the organisation and you will discover a working environment where there is real emphasis on working together and developing each other to deliver to high standards.

Our structured training programme, as well as the wider Civil Service training programme, provides a range of opportunities for continuous improvement and learning to develop your economic expertise including training courses, lunchtime seminars and discussion groups on economics topics. We will also support and encourage you to develop your wider skills - including communication, drafting, management skills and project management.

The CMA prides itself on being a great place to work and strives to ensure that staff have the opportunity to grow and expand their skills portfolio. As well as being a hugely rewarding, diverse and stimulating place to work, you will have an opportunity to work for the public good and to stretch and develop yourself while doing so.

**Person specification**:
Key responsibilities will include the following:

- Working with Microeconomics Unit colleagues to carry out quantitative analysis as part of research projects. This includes helping to scope the key questions which will inform the direction of the project; deciding on and gathering appropriate data; and identifying how the quantitative analysis contributes to the overall state of knowledge on issues of competition, innovation and productivity.
- Deliver high quality and timely quantitative analysis under the guidance of more senior econometricians, across several long-term and short-term research projects. Responsibilities may include: defining research questions and analytical approaches, compiling and analysing data sets, quality assurance to check the work of others and engaging with academics and other experts.
- Communicate clearly and accurately, both orally and in writing, in particular by drafting substantial sections of technical papers and published reports and presenting quantitative analysis to both technical and non-technical audiences (economists and non-economists).
- Manage own time effectively to ensure analysis is delivered to the agreed timescale, ensuring managers are kept informed of progress, findings and potential risks
