The incumbent will lead evaluation and health services research projects requiring application of econometric modelling and other advanced quantitative research methods. The Program Area Director should have familiarity and experience leading Medicare and Medicaid demonstration evaluations that use experimental or quasi-experimental design. The ideal candidate will have led analyses estimating the impact of health care payment and delivery interventions on outcomes and cost using data files derived from Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payer administrative data. In addition to providing subject matter and methodological leadership to projects, the Program Area Director will lead and mentor a group of approximately 15 staff with similar training in quantitative analysis. The ideal candidate will also have extensive experience managing and supporting teams of highly skilled researchers, managing client relationships, and collaborating with statisticians, methodologists, survey researchers, and qualitative researchers.
