Our work has shaped industries and policy around the world. Our field-leading experts and deep experience allow us to provide rigorous analysis, reliable expert testimony, and data-powered policy recommendations for the world’s leading law firms and corporations as well as regulators and governments. Our experience, integrity, and economic ingenuity mean clients can depend on us in the face of their biggest economic and financial challenges.

We have an immediate opening for an experienced Researcher to join the Antitrust-Healthcare business line in our San Francisco office. This role can also be based in our Chicago or New York City office.

NERA employs economic theory and quantitative methods, grounded in a thorough understanding of the market, to provide a full range of theoretical and empirical economic analysis and testimony in matters involving mergers and acquisitions, antitrust litigation, and competition policy. We analyze the entire range of economic issues that arise in antitrust cases, including market definition, market dynamics, entry conditions, pricing, single firm and multi-firm conduct, agreements, and profitability. NERA's experts assess and, when appropriate, testify regarding the economic aspects of various competitive competition-related questions involving, for example, mergers and acquisitions, foreclosure and exclusionary conduct (e.g., tying, bundling, and refusals to deal), horizontal and vertical restraints, monopolization and abuse of dominant position, and collusion. NERA's experts also have extensive experience estimating damages in antitrust matters, as well as assessing the appropriateness of class certification. The San Francisco, New York City, and Chicago offices have a substantial focus on health care antitrust analysis in both litigation and merger matters. 

Responsibilities may include: designing and building quantitative models and applying econometric analysis to economic and financial data; valuation analyses; reviewing, summarizing, and analyzing industry trends; creating trial exhibits and presentation materials; writing code for complex data analysis; participating in client meetings; and drafting memos and expert reports. There is little to no travel involved with the position.

Candidates should have 2-3 years of professional experience, a minimum of a BA or BS in economics, statistics, mathematics or related field, with exceptional analytic skills, strong programming skills (Python, R, SAS, Stata) and strong academic records. Coursework and/or experience in economics, statistics, and regression analysis/econometrics are desired. Qualified candidates must be detail-oriented and have strong analytic skills, excellent oral communication skills, and an ability to write in a clear and persuasive manner.

The applicable base salary for this role is $90,000 - $102,000 per year.

The base pay offered will be determined on factors such as experience, skills, training, location, certifications, and education, and any applicable minimum wage requirements. Decisions will be determined on a case-by-case basis. In addition to the base salary, this position may be eligible for performance-based incentives. We are excited to offer a competitive total rewards package which includes health and welfare benefits, tuition assistance, 401K savings and other retirement programs as well as employee assistance programs.
