Description

The Healthcare Analysis team at U.S. News & World Report is looking for a quantitative analyst to help us tackle complex research questions using big data and cutting-edge statistical methods. This analyst will join the team responsible for the widely cited U.S. News Best Hospitals rankings and will help evolve the methodology to help patients make healthcare choices. The results of your work will have significant public visibility and may inform life-altering healthcare decisions made by millions of people each year.

You’ll have the opportunity to interact with leading academic quality researchers and medical experts, to see your work have a public impact, and potentially to contribute to work submitted to academic journals and conferences.
