Researcher, Mathematical Sciences and Computational Algorithms
UW faculty and staff also enjoy outstanding benefits, professional growth opportunities and unique resources in an environment noted for diversity, intellectual excitement, artistic pursuits and natural beauty.
The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) is an independent research center at the University of Washington. Its mission is to deliver to the world timely, relevant, and scientifically valid evidence to improve health policy and practice. IHME carries out its mission through a range of projects within different research areas including the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors (GBD); Future Health Scenarios; Cost Effectiveness and Efficiency; Resource Tracking; and Impact Evaluations. Our vision is to provide policymakers, donors, and researchers with the highest-quality quantitative evidence base so all people live long lives in full health.
IHME is committed to providing the evidence base necessary to help solve the world’s most important health problems. This requires creativity and innovation, which are cultivated by an inclusive, diverse, and equitable environment that respects and appreciates differences, embraces collaboration, and invites the voices of all IHME team members.
IHME has an excellent opportunity for a Researcher to join the Mathematical Sciences and Computational Algorithms (MSCA) team; a team that aims to address the complex analytic challenges of IHME’s portfolio of projects and provide deeper methodological expertise on cross-cutting methods and centralized modeling resources and tools.
POSITION PURPOSE
IHME Researchers analyze and produce key estimates relevant to their assigned research team by assessing available quantitative data, including surveys, vital registration, censuses, literature, registries, and administrative records. You will be integrally involved in producing, critiquing, improving, and disseminating methods and results. You already have a command of software development (Python or R), as well as epidemiology, statistics, disease modeling, or related interests, and we will help you develop an understanding of our core research and methodology. Our Researchers work with senior research leads and external collaborators and take part in the intellectual exchange about how to improve upon and disseminate the results. As a Researcher on MSCA, you will contribute to multiple streams of work including, but not limited to, the development of Verbal Autopsy (VA) correction methods and the Burden of Proof analysis for risk factor modeling on the GBD study.
This position is contingent on project funding availability.
