The Institute of Healthcare Delivery Science (I-HDS) in the Department of Population Health Science and Policy at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai seeks a full time statistical analyst. The candidate will work closely with the faculty and other masters level biostatisticians to solve real time healthcare problems using novel methodologies and large datasets from seven hospital under the newly formed Mount-Sinai Health System.
The candidate will assist with the design and analysis of large observational studies based on national administrative databases and data from institutional electronic record EPIC. The work further involves aspects of health technology assessment such as evaluating the costs and benefits of alternative health care interventions, providing decision-makers with a trade-off of cost and effectiveness, and summarizing existing evidence by meta-analysis. The candidate should be able to use different techniques for estimating health care cost and resource utilization depending on data availability.
Must be able to work independently, under minimal supervision and as part of a team.
Qualification: Master's degree in Biostatistics or related discipline (such as econometrics, engineering, physical sciences, computer science, mathematics) and at least two years of related experience or equivalent in data analysis. Candidates must have excellent research methods skills and experience with regression and survival analysis. Excellent computer skills are required including experience with SAS, SPSS, S-Plus or R, Excel, MS Word and the internet. As the members of I-HDS have a strong interest in computer simulation studies of health care interventions, experience with stochastic simulation models and economic analyses is desirable. Ideas for PhD thesis often arise form these collaborations.
