Health Metrics and Evaluation, Department of Health Metrics
Sciences, University of Washington Location: Seattle, WA United
States Position Type: Full Time Post Date: 01/06/2021 Expire Date:
03/06/2021 Job Categories: Education, Other, Science, Research &
Development Job Description Assistant Professor WOT, Gender
Equality and Behavioral Determinants of Health
The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) is an
independent research organization that produces cutting-edge
scientific and policy-relevant quantitative evidence for use by
policymakers, donors, and other stakeholders. Based at the
University of Washington, IHME's ongoing work provides high-quality
measurement of the world's major health problems, assesses how
these problems are being addressed, and identifies how best to
dedicate resources to maximize health improvement. IHME's approach
maximizes cross-disciplinary, quantitative analytic approaches and
methods aimed at incorporating all relevant data in order to
produce policy-relevant results using ground-breaking science.
About the Position
The incumbent will be a leading member of a research team focusing
on developing metrics for gender equality in health and behavioral
determinants of health. This team will bring expertise in health
metrics to the field for gender equality in health to produce
rigorous, actionable evidence that will support decisions and
actions to improve gender equality globally. The incumbent will
spearhead the analytical work to create a gender equality index for
health, explore the social barriers to gender equality in health
and the way that unique drivers impact gender equality in health.
The incumbent will also work on behavioral risk factors including
contributions to improvements in the measurement of gender-based
violence (GBV) and tobacco and implications on health outcomes for
the Global Burden of Disease Study. This area of work is also going
to expand to measuring the gender inequities related to gender
based violence as well as primary and second-hand smoking.
The incumbent will use modeling tools to produce estimates for the
Global Burden of Disease and related products on an annually
updated basis. This will include generation and critique of these
results in light of trends in the available data and
epidemiological and clinical assumptions where appropriate,
determine whether adjustments to models or model assumptions should
be made, and analyze results in consultation with other faculty.
The incumbent is expected to present the results both internally
and externally and to contribute to appropriate peer reviewed
journal articles and policy reports pertaining to them. The
incumbent is expected to contribute to the expansion of gender
equality and behavioral risk factor research for the Institute,
including but not limited to consultation with subject area experts
around the world, engagement with external partners, and the
expansion of the network of collaborators.
The incumbent will also take on an important leadership role in
mentoring predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows working in the field
of health metrics. All University of Washington faculty engage in
teaching, research, and service. Salary and benefits are
competitive and commensurate with experience.
Assistant Professors in the Department of Health Metrics Sciences
have an annual service period of 12 months (July 1- June 30).
Faculty appointed WOT do not hold tenure because all or part of
their annual University-administered salary is derived from sources
other than regularly appropriated state funds. Except for this
distinction, WOT faculty members have the same rights,
responsibilities, and obligations as tenure-track and tenured
faculty members at those ranks.
