Outcomes Research Analysts
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) anticipates future openings for
several doctoral level positions within its newly created Outcomes Research
Section (ORS) of the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences. ORS
is developing a research program to help shape the national agenda in cancer
outcomes measurement and analysis.
ORS will sponsor and coordinate research examining how traditional and
innovative endpoint measures (such as functional status, quality of life,
utilities, and economic costs) can be incorporated into the broad range of
studies focusing on cancer outcomes - from prevention and treatment trials to
national population-based surveillance activities. ORS will foster development
of valid and reliable endpoint measures for use in studies examining cancer
outcome trends, the quality of care, and the cost-effectiveness of
interventions.
The work of the ORS will be carried out through reviews, evaluations,
and analyses conducted by section staff; collaborations with experts in the
field; meetings, workshops, and conferences convened by the section; and through
sponsorship of extramural research and consulting activities.
Within this expanding new effort at NCI, exciting opportunities will be
available for individuals with expertise in epidemiology, biostatistics, health
services research, health economics, psychometrics, survey research, and
decision sciences. Candidates should hold a Ph.D. or have the equivalent
training and experience. A background in cancer research is desirable but not
required. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are essential for
work in this multidisciplinary setting. U.S. citizenship is required. The
salary range for these positions will be $55,027 - $89,142 (GS-13 to GS-14).
The location is Bethesda, Maryland, close to Washington, D.C. Excellent
benefits. All applicants will receive consideration without regard to race,
color, gender, national origin, age, religion, disability, or sexual
orientation. NCI/NIH is an equal opportunity employer. Please send a CV and
letter describing your background and interests, by September 15, 1999, to:
