Analyst in Health Care Financing
Applicants should have experience conducting analysis of policy issues related to one or more areas covered by the section (Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, and/or private health insurance). While all candidates with substantive knowledge in any of these areas are encouraged to apply, the ideal candidate will demonstrate substantive program knowledge—including relevant legislation and regulation—and experience researching policy topics related to: (1) Medicare financing or (2) mental health coverage under Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP and/or private health insurance or (3) prescription drug coverage under Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP and/or private health insurance.
Strong research, writing, and presentation skills and the ability to work as part of a collaborative team and to be responsive under time pressure are essential for success in this position. Experience with applied health economics or quantitative research—including identifying appropriate survey and administrative data sources, constructing data sets, and applying quantitative techniques to answer policy questions— is desirable, but not required.
