Overview
Description
ICF’s Regulatory, Policy and Economics business portfolio at ICF supports primarily public-sector clients with research, analysis, technical assistance, and implementation support to help address complex policy, management, and regulatory challenges.

Location This is a full-time on-site position located in Washington, DC, working directly with the client. Remote/hybrid work arrangements are not possible for this position.
What you will be doing
As a Policy Analyst / Economist, you will perform economic and financial analyses on issues of transportation and public safety regulation and policy, with the bulk of your work on domestic regulatory issues.
You will contribute to research and quantitative analyses in support of policy decisions. Your duties may include compiling and analyzing data to characterize baseline economic conditions and risk; performing economic, financial, and other quantitative analyses to assess the costs and impacts of policies on affected businesses, industries, employment, and the economy; analyzing how regulatory interventions may affect transportation risk; developing models to assess costs, economic impacts, and benefits.
You will work in collaboration with senior and other junior staff within a multidisciplinary team that includes economists, scientists, and engineers.
What you need to be a successful candidate
The preferred candidate will have a graduate degree (master’s or PhD) in economics, public policy, or related discipline with coursework in economics, strong quantitative skills and an outstanding academic record.
As this is a client-facing role, excellent oral and written communication skills are essential. Prior experience in economic consulting or in a similar function within a regulatory office of the federal government are highly desirable.
We need someone who works well on teams. You need to be flexible and able to work in a fast-paced environment. You also need to have very strong analytical skills and a demonstrated ability to work independently and to apply a variety of technical skills and innovative thinking to solve complex problems.
Preference will be placed on candidates with experience (through employment or academic coursework) and skills in the following areas: regulatory economics, microeconomics, accounting/finance, and econometrics/statistics; analysis of economic and/or survey data; spreadsheet (Excel) and data analysis (R) software; knowledge of federal transportation or environmental programs and regulations; knowledge of key industries (e.g., hazardous materials transportation, oil and gas).
