The candidate will serve as a Research Scientist, supporting the collection and reporting of quality data and ongoing research studies. The entry-to-mid-level researcher will work for the Essential Plan Unit Director in the Bureau of Quality Measurement and Evaluation to help the Office meet its expanding responsibilities to promote healthcare quality through various data-driven methods, including research, evaluation, and health information analysis. With the introduction and growth of the Essential Plan in New York State, new research is being conducted, including evaluating the effectiveness of policies and initiatives for this population.

Duties include utilizing various data sources within OHSQA, assisting with original research studies, and designing and conducting research and analyses to evaluate the quality and utilization of the Essential Plan. This involves managing different data sources such as the all-payer database, plan-submitted quality data, and other quality data indicators. The researcher will support original research studies, designing and carrying out research and analyses to evaluate Essential Plans and other Marketplace or non-Medicaid plans as appropriate. Responsibilities also include developing reporting tools, including custom-built SAS or SQL programming to generate tables and figures, and using Tableau to update reports.
If appointed as an Assistant Research Scientist, the incumbent will assist other research staff with these duties; if appointed as a Research Scientist 1, the incumbent will be expected to perform these duties under general supervision; if appointed as a Research Scientist 2, the incumbent will work with more independence.

Bachelor's degree or higher in public health, public administration and policy, epidemiology, statistics, mathematics, social sciences, engineering, health economics, finance or a related field and three years of professional research experience* in an appropriate field.
*Substitution: 30 graduate hours leading to an advanced degree in an appropriate field may be substituted for the required experience.
**Substitutions: master's degree in an appropriate field may substitute for one year of experience, and Ph.D. in an appropriate field may substitute for an additional year of experience.
Preferred Qualifications: Strong statistical and data management skills. Experience in data analysis, management, and validation.

Knowledge of Data Warehouse, Business Intelligence and reporting fundamentals, and analyzing large, complex datasets. Knowledge of statistical methods and their application for predictive analytics. Experience analyzing health care claims data or other administrative data sources. Experience with visualization software such as Tableau is a plus. Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. Excellent communication, organization, and program management skills. Ability to work independently in a fast-paced team environment.
