Responsibilities
Design and implement rigorous program evaluation studies using observational healthcare data
Develop analytic frameworks to measure outcomes such as cost reduction, quality improvement, and patient engagement
Apply causal inference methods, including PSM, DiD, IPTW, RDD, and other quasiexperimental approaches
Develop and validate statistical models to estimate treatment effects and assess program impact
Integrate machine learning algorithms (e.g., random forests, gradient boosting, neural networks) into predictive models using claims, EHR, SDOH, and clinical registry data
Work with structured and unstructured healthcare data to engineer features from demographics, clinical history, utilization patterns, costs, and SDOH
Build and refine predictive models for risk stratification and disease progression using longitudinal and time-to-event analysis
Collaborate with clinical, operational, and data engineering teams to embed models into workflows and develop scalable, reproducible data pipelines
Maintain transparent, governed, reproducible analytic workflows, including version controlled code and documentation
Contribute to best practices and methodological standards for program evaluation across the organization
Stay current with advancements in causal inference, ML, and healthcare analytics to strengthen evaluation rigor
Running causal inference analyses (e.g., matching, weighting, DiD) and performing sensitivity checks like parallel trends, placebo tests, and falsification strategies
Exploring and preparing healthcare datasets (claims, EHR, SDOH) and engineering features for modeling and evaluation
Estimating heterogeneous treatment effects to identify patient subgroups most likely to benefit from interventions
Developing predictive models for risk stratification, hospitalization risk, or high-cost event prediction
Reviewing model performance, refining assumptions, and troubleshooting data or methodological issues
Collaborating with clinicians, operational leads, or care-management partners to interpret findings and translate them into actionable insights
Creating visual analyses, dashboards, or presentations to communicate findings to both technical and non-technical audiences
Collaborate with data engineers to create scalable, reproducible, and high-quality data pipelines supporting evaluation and outcomes measurement
Documenting analytic decisions, version-controlling code, and completing peer reviews of methodological work
