Job Description

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 a 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, free markets, and peace – animate Cato’s research to this day. The Cato Institute is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Position Overview The Cato Institute is seeking a Research Associate to support the Director of Budget and Entitlement Policy with research and related administrative tasks. The Research Associate will help produce research summaries and original policy analysis for different publications, including working papers, blog posts, op-eds, tweets, and books. They will support the Director with topical briefs, fiscal data analyses, and organizational tasks that support Cato’s mission. The ideal candidate has a strong grasp of economics and is a self-starter, curious, and detail-oriented. This position could be hybrid, fully remote, or at Cato’s office. Responsibilities Support the research of the Budget and Entitlement Policy team. Support the administrative and organizational needs of the Budget and Entitlement Policy team. Produce the weekly Debt Digest, including synthesizing fiscal developments, analyzing budget data, and drafting concise summaries for publication, and similar newsletter features. Requirements Education and Experience A bachelor’s degree in economics or political science. No prior work experience required. Skills Passion for the intersection of economics, government policy, and libertarianism. Familiarity with basic economic and budgeting concepts. Empirical skills and familiarity with R, STATA, Excel, and other statistical programs are a plus. Strong organizational skills and a commitment to accuracy. Strong writing skills.
