The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), part of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, is seeking a senior level statistician to
serve in the Division of Health and Nutrition Examination Survey’s Office
of the Director.  The Division is responsible for the National Health and
Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) Program.    NHANES collects
information on health and dietary intake and uses mobile examining units to
obtain extensive data based on direct physical measures and laboratory
tests from a nationally representative sample.



*Why join?*

·         The NHANES data on overweight prevalence for children and
adolescents are critical in the development of Federal nutrition
recommendations, dietary guidance and policy.

·         NHANES surveys showed low iron and folate levels in some
population subgroups, so the government moved to fortify cereal and enrich
grain products with iron in the 1970’s and folate in the 1990’s.

·         NHANES is used to produce estimates on the prevalence of HPV
infection in the U.S. and recently showed a 56% decline in HPV infection
among adolescent girls after routine HPV vaccine recommendations were made.



*Job Description:*

You will serve as an expert advisor and consultant on the NHANES sample
design as well as NHANES survey research and methods studies.   You will
advise the Division and NCHS leadership on the statistical issues involved
in collecting, producing, and analyzing health and nutrition examination
survey data, which are critical to formulating national policies and
program initiatives.  You will lead research projects involving the use of
modeling and other mathematical techniques for the analysis of statistical
data.  You will provide technical leadership to staff in the conduct of
research and the development of research findings. You will provide advice
and guidelines on disclosure avoidance techniques, and options for
maintaining confidentiality of restricted survey data while at the same
time providing analytic files to the public.
