U.S. Quantitative Economist, Copper Jobs and Wages
Axyde Analytics, LLC is recruiting proposed key personnel for a contingent U.S. Department of Labor initiative connecting stronger labor conditions and operating evidence in Chile’s copper supply chain with measurable benefits for American employment, wages and industrial resilience. This position is contingent upon award, final agreement and required due diligence.
Location and commitment
United States; remote, with periodic travel. Anticipated 36-month period and approximately 20–25 percent level of effort.

- Graduate degree in economics, statistics, public policy or a closely related quantitative field.
- Demonstrated use of IMPLAN, BEA RIMS II or an equivalent input-output or employment-impact framework.
- Experience estimating direct, indirect and induced employment and wage effects.

- Experience with U.S. industry, trade, manufacturing, mining or supply-chain datasets.
- Current authorization to work in the United States without Axyde sponsorship for the proposed engagement.
- Availability for approximately 20–25 percent LOE.
Copper, critical-minerals or metals-sector experience is strongly preferred.
