Data Analyst - Neonatal and Child Health - UW IHME
Description:
IHME has an exciting opportunity for a Data Analyst on the Neonatal and Child Health (NCH) team. A core research area for IHME is the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors enterprise (GBD). A systematic, scientific effort to quantify the comparative magnitude of health loss due to diseases, injuries, and risk factors by age, sex, and geography over time, GBD is the largest and most comprehensive effort to date to measure epidemiological levels and trends worldwide. GBD’s aim is to provide policymakers, donors, researchers, and the communities they serve with the highest-quality quantitative evidence base to make decisions that achieve better health. Within this broader enterprise, the Neonatal and Child Health (NCH) team quantifies fatal and nonfatal health loss due to diverse conditions such as congenital birth defects, neonatal disorders, hemoglobinopathies, child growth failure, breastfeeding, oral disorders, anemia, and cerebral palsy.
