About Cato The Cato Institute is a public policy research organization—a think tank—dedicated to the principles of individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and peace. Its scholars and analysts conduct independent, nonpartisan research on a wide range of policy issues. Founded in 1977, Cato owes its name to Cato’s Letters, a series of essays published in 18th- century England that presented a vision of society free from excessive government power. Those essays inspired the architects of the American Revolution. And the simple, timeless principles of that revolution — individual liberty, limited government, and free markets – turn out to be even more powerful in today’s world of global markets and unprecedented access to information than Jefferson or Madison could have imagined. Social and economic freedom is not just the best policy for free people, it is the indispensable framework for the future. Cato Institute is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Responsibilities Produce studies, original empirical research, op-eds, blog posts, and social media content that address relevant trade policy issues from an economic perspective. This will be done individually and in collaboration with other Cato scholars. Make presentations to audiences, participate in panel discussions, and make media appearances related to trade policy. Organize policy forums and other events and educate policymakers on the economics of trade. Commission and edit studies from outside experts on the economics of trade. Requirements Education/ Experience A bachelor’s degree in economics, International Trade, or other related social sciences; an advanced degree is preferred. 2 - 5 years of experience in trade policy, economics, and research. An understanding of US international trade policy. A strong grasp of international economics and general economic concepts. Strong quantitative skills, including familiarity with common econometric methods and software packages or programming languages used for data analysis (such as Stata, R, Python, MATLAB, etc.). Skills Must have a strong commitment to Cato’s libertarian values. Ability to work on multiple tasks independently and as part of a highly collaborative team on a time-sensitive basis.
