Announcement of Job Opening (closes August 17, 2012)

 

Mathematical Statistician, Statistical Research and Survey Design Staff,

National Center for Health Statistics

 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS) is part of the Department of Health and Human Services and
is the principal health statistics agency in the United States.  Its mission
is to provide statistical information to guide actions and policies to
improve the health of the American people.  NCHS is a unique public resource
for health information and a critical element of public health and health
policy.

                       

NCHS is seeking exceptional candidates for a Mathematical Statistician in
the Statistical Research and Survey Design Staff (SRSDS) in the Office of
Research and Methodology (ORM). SRSDS, which contains the largest group of
research statisticians in NCHS, conducts statistical research relevant to
NCHS and elsewhere and provides technical assistance primarily to the
various programs within NCHS (e.g., the Division of Health Care Statistics,
the Division of Health Interview Statistics, the Division of Health and
Nutrition Examination Surveys, the Division of Vital Statistics, and the
Office of Analysis and Epidemiology) but also outside of NCHS. Recent areas
of work by SRSDS include the redesign of NCHS surveys, methods for modeling
and analyzing survey data, small-area estimation, combining information from
multiple data sources, quality control, statistical disclosure limitation
and protection of confidentiality, handling missing data, and statistical
computing.

 

ORM has two groups in addition to SRSDS: the Questionnaire Design and
Research Laboratory, which conducts research and technical assistance in the
areas of questionnaire design and testing; and the Research Data Center,
which provides researchers with secure access to NCHS' restricted-access
data as well as technical assistance, while protecting the confidentiality
of the respondents and records.  Collaboration between staffs within ORM is
encouraged.

 

Position overview

*         Conduct statistical research related to survey design, modeling,
data analysis, and statistical inference.

*         Serve as an expert consultant and advisor primarily to other
programs in NCHS but also outside of NCHS.

*         May be assigned on-going responsibility for advising specific
programs within NCHS as well as dealing with specific survey methodologies
or statistical analysis questions.

*         Work with and mentor staff members at more junior levels.

*         Present and publish results from research and collaborations.

*         Initial salary range: $105,211-$136,771.
