Full Text of JOE Listing:

The newly created Geisinger Program Evaluation (GPE) team seeks one Associate Director and one Staff Scientist, each with expertise related to health economics or health services research, and especially research drawing causal inference using non-randomized methods. This is a great opportunity to oversee and lead rigorous, primarily non-randomized (or partially randomized) evaluations of programs, with impact on important health system decisions and patient outcomes, straddling industry and academia. Evaluations from members of GPE (which also includes the Behavioral Insights Team) are published/forthcoming in high-impact journals, including PNAS, Nature Human Behaviour, JAMA Network Open, and The Journal of Pediatrics. Both positions will be expected to lead study design, analysis (preferably using R), and reporting/dissemination of results to internal stakeholders (e.g., Geisinger leaders) as well as to academic audiences (e.g., at conferences and in academic publications). The Associate Director will lead and manage a team. Positions can be based in Danville, PA, or remote (with occasional travel to Danville) from another U.S. location for exceptional candidates.
