Research Scientist, Health Systems - Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME)

Description:

IHME has an outstanding opportunity for a Research Scientist to join the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Health Systems team.

We are looking for someone who will help drive health systems research, with a focus on innovation in the area of universal health coverage (UHC), including aspects of quality, equity, and service coverage. Across IHME, Research Scientists lead on research teams by contributing to research design and training and mentoring junior staff. IHME Research Scientists analyze and produce key estimates for their research team and focus on using data from household surveys, disease registries, vital registration, published literature, and administrative records. Research Scientists are further involved in critiquing, improving, and disseminating results. Research Scientists must be capable of helping keep their team on track to meet deadlines and research objectives. Research Scientists should have experience with the publication process, and, at IHME, are expected to build out their portfolio with several peer-reviewed papers. We are looking for individuals who keep abreast of recent scientific, engineering, and technical advances and are able to translate these into research.
