CAREERS

Europe Economics is an independent economics consultancy, specialising in economic regulation, competition policy and the application of economics to policy issues.

If you join Europe Economics, you will join a team of economists working in a friendly and co-operative environment. The firm's office is in London, but there is potential for overseas travel.

There is no routine project at Europe Economics, and all assignments present some unique issues. This means that staff face new challenges all the time. Employees at Europe Economics are not restricted to a single industry sector, and apply their analytical skills across a wide range of issues. The opportunity to learn and develop new skills is always present.

Europe Economics offers a stimulating working environment, competitive pay, and the prospect of rapid career progress. In addition, for members of staff without a Master's degree in economics, we normally fund them to do a Masters' degree in economics as an evening course while working full-time.

Entry-level recruits generally join as either Analysts or Research Officers, depending on academic qualifications and previous experience.

An Analyst recruit will normally have a post-graduate degree in Economics from a high-ranking Economics departement.

A Research Officer will normally not have a post-graduate degree, but will have a very good honours degree (normally a First, minimum of 2:1). We welcome applicants from a range of disciplines - such as economics, mathematics, physics, history, political science, philosophy, and modern languages - but all applicants must be willing to be trained as technical economists (this would normally involve doing a Masters degree as an evening course whilst working full time).

A strong background in micro-economics, industrial organisation and/or econometrics is highly valued. Applicants should also have good communication and teamworking skills. From day one, entry-level recruits are expected to contribute ideas and drafts to analyses and reports; meet clients; and manage priorities and deadlines.

Europe Economics also welcomes applications from experienced economists. There is no typical profile for these positions, but strong analytical skills are essential. Relevant experience in consulting, industry, regulatory authorities, government or academia, proven project management ability, a network of contacts and the potential for winning new business are all highly valued.

To apply for a position at Europe Economics, please provide the following:

• A cover letter indicating why you are interested in working at Europe Economics and stating whether you would require a work permit to work in the UK;
• A curriculum vitae showing your qualifications, education, and details of any previous employment.
