their boundless energy, creative problem solving skills and dedication to build stronger minds and a healthier world.<br>
<br>
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. All of which has allowed the UW to be nationally
recognized as a “Great College to Work For” for six consecutive years.<br>
<br>
The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) is an independent research center at the University of Washington. Its mission is to monitor global health conditions and health systems, as well as to evaluate interventions, initiatives, and reforms.
IHME carries out a range of projects within different research areas including: Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors; Future Health Scenarios; Costs and Cost-effectiveness; Local Burden of Disease; Resource Tracking; and Impact Evaluations.
The aim is to provide policymakers, donors, and researchers with the highest-quality quantitative evidence base to make decisions that achieve better health.<br>
<br>
<b>IHME has an excellent opportunity for a Researcher on the Future Health Scenarios team</b>. The future health scenarios team forecasts GBD inputs and results (burden of more than 250 diseases and injuries and more than 80 risk factors for all GBD geographic
locations) to provide policymakers, donors, researchers and the general public with the highest-quality future estimates to make decisions that improve health. IHME researchers analyze and produce key estimates for their assigned research team and will assess
all available quantitative data – including those on causes of death, epidemiology, and a range of determinants such as education and income – from surveys, vital registration, censuses, literature, registries, and administrative records. Using established
modeling tools and through creation of novel code, researchers incorporate all relevant data to produce the most up-to-date and scientifically credible results.<br>
<br>
You will be integrally involved in producing, critiquing, improving, and disseminating results. You already have a command of 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 intellectual exchange about how to improve upon and disseminate the results.<br>
<br>
You are expected to interact successfully with a wide range of partners and to describe complex concepts and materials concisely. Overall, Researchers are critical members of agile, dynamic research teams. This position is contingent on project funding availability.<br>
