The Senior Research Manager will drive the development of statistical and dynamic modeling efforts that describe, predict, and quantitatively capture the functioning of LMIC health systems and their components. The primary goal is to develop models which generate evidence to support health systems strengthening (HSS) activities and the evaluation of how investments in healthcare system interventions translate to health equity and population health outcomes.

  • Collaborate with internal and external partners to identify priority areas for modeling research and applications.
  • Team Management

  • Collaboration & Partnerships:

  • Collaborate closely with PHC and other PSTs to provide modeling support and insights.
  • Establish and maintain partnerships with experts in systems modeling or health services research to enhance statistical and dynamical modeling.
  • Research & Methodology:

  • Drive the development of novel statistical or dynamic models that consider the connections between different components of the health system and the policy/programmatic levers acting on them.
  • Examine how population factors (e.g., demographics, household economics, socio-cultural norms, behavior) impact the use of the health system.
  • Contribute to the development of open-source modeling tools and methodologies for the broader scientific community.
  • Project Management:

  • Oversee development of existing health system modeling efforts and suggest areas for new modeling efforts.
  • Ensure timely progress of projects, alignment with goals, and effective communication of results.
  • Prioritizing work within the HCS team, including tradeoffs given resource constraints.
  • Communication & Collaboration:

  • Collaborate with other functional teams and management consultants to ensure seamless integration of modeling results into broader analyses.
  • Communicate organization- and foundation-wide messages to the PHC team and communicate updates on work progress and concerns/risks to IDM leadership.
  • Facilitate collaborative and intentional partnerships with in-country experts.
  • Maintain regular communication with IDM's leadership and other relevant stakeholders.
  • Disseminate research findings through peer-reviewed publications, conferences, and other relevant channels.
  • Your Experience

  • Advanced degree required in public health, epidemiology, health services research or a related field with significant coursework in quantitative methods (e.g., Applied Mathematics, Statistics/Biostatistics, Data Science, Operations Research) with demonstrated experience in health systems research.
  • Proven track record of leading and managing research teams.
  • Established experience working with interdisciplinary teams.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with interdisciplinary teams.
  • Experience working with diverse partners, both internal to the organization and within the broader modeling ecosystem, and building collaborative networks.
  • Knowledge of global health, health systems in LMIC contexts, social determinants of health, and/or vulnerable populations.
  • Proficiency in at least one scripting language (Python and R preferred).
  • Experience working in LMIC contexts is a significant plus.
  • The salary range for this role is $204,600 to $317,100 USD. We recognize high-wage market differences where our offices are located, in Seattle and Washington D.C.
