Job Description:
ICF International has an opening for a Health Geographic Analyst working primarily

The Health Geographic Analyst will primarily focus on use of geographic data with
the demographic and health data collected under various types of DHS surveys. Tasks
will include data validation, developing and implementing research plans, writing
manuscripts for publication, and collaborating with different groups to define the

Geographic Analyst will report directly to the GIS Coordinator, and will be
