The Flexibility to do Great Research that Matters

Do you want to make a difference?

At ERS, you will have the flexibility to do independent and collaborative research on issues that matter. New ERS employees collaborate with top economists and social scientists in their fields of interest. And since ERS is the primary source of economic information and research in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, you will have access to the best economic data available.

The information and data developed by ERS economists and social scientists are used by key USDA officials, Congress, other policy makers, business, and the media. By continuing your research as a part of ERS, you can further your career while truly being a direct agent of meaningful change.
