In additon to strong problem solving, analytical skills, and strategic thinking, we are also looking for a researcher with excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to work well and flexibly. As the  project will involve a mixture of systematic reviews and meta analyses, data analysis and economic evaluation (including simulations) competencies,  a proficiency in the use of statistical software (preferably R and/or SAS/Stata), and decision modelling packages (R and/or TreeAge) is needed. The successful candidate will mainly be based in the Statistics Division at The George Institute.
