Brattle offers a diverse, stimulating, and collegial environment. Your career with Brattle begins with a weeklong training at our headquarters in Boston where you will learn Brattle’s best practices on how to build economic models, write code, and tackle complex economic problems.

• Reviewing literature and industry trends to understand the debate around key developments
• Conducting statistical analysis and working with data using tools such as Stata, R, Excel or Python

• Exceptional analytical skills (data analysis experience using STATA is essential. Software such as Excel and R is a plus)
• Interest and understanding of antitrust cases (monopolies, abuse of dominance, cartels)
• Passion for creative problem-solving; ability to communicate complex concepts effectively
