We are a research group in the Wake Forest School of Medicine that conducts research in evaluation of impact of health policy and clinical interventions, with a focus on health disparities. We are looking for a research assistant (10 to 20 hours/week) to perform data processing and statistical/econometric analyses on a variety of research projects involving a multidisciplinary team of researchers from health economics, health services research, medicine, epidemiology, biostatistics, psychology and geography. A major part of the job will be to write data processing and statistical analysis code using Stata programming language. Prior knowledge of Stata is not necessary, but a background or strong interest in learning to code is necessary. Projects involve use of large databases of healthcare utilization and health surveys (Medicare, AHRQ and CDC) and application of advanced statistical/econometric models to assess policy impact. Successful RAs will have the opportunity to collaborate in the writing on the research findings for publication in peer reviewed journals.
While some of the work may be done remotely, we expect the RA to be available at our downtown offices (at 525 Vine Street).
Preferred start date is ~March 15, 2024 or later.
