I just got wc privateer and thought it would be nice to play it with a joystick. Would a modern usb joystick work with it? I have windows 7 if that makes any difference...

To play with joystick you'll need "alternative" version of DosBox because of steering - it will be not "fluent" (e.g. lack of precision during aiming could be very annoying) . Check out mouse control. It's playable quite good.

Any modern usb joystick should do.
I don't see why you should need another version of dosbox, if joystick inputs aren't translated good, set timed=false in the dosbox%.conf file. Only thing still might be that the joystick is too sensitive, if you have config software that came with the joystick you can lower the sensitivity.

A USB joystick will work just fine.
