The main responsibilities of this position include performing SAS programming of Medicare data and other routine healthcare data as specified in research protocol and working closely with the investigators.

 

A competitive candidate must have the fundamental knowledge about the structure of and coding systems used in Medicare data, and at least 3 years of experience in Medicare data programming related to pharmacoepidemiology or health services research.

• Create an analytical cohort according to the analysis protocol prepared by the investigators (a typical cohort includes some index event [e.g., drug prescribing or surgical procedure] and measurement of baseline covariates and outcome variables [e.g., time to event, count of health care utilization, and cost]).

• Perform statistical analysis under the instructions of investigators and biostatistician (e.g., propensity score analysis and regression models for continuous, binary, count, and time-to-event variables).

• Work to improve the efficiency of the data analysis process by identifying and addressing inefficiencies, developing a workflow, and standardizing repetitive procedures. Develop SAS programs that are flexible, reusable, scalable, computationally efficient, and maintainable. Establish protocols for quality control to ensure accuracy of programming.

• Meet competing deadlines, create timelines, prioritize tasks, and communicate changes to the timelines with researchers.

• Assist the investigators in scientific presentation, manuscript writing, and grant writing by providing sample size count and preparing tables and figures from the analysis.

• The above covers the most significant responsibilities of the position. It does not, however, exclude other duties, which would be in conformity with the level of the position. Completes special projects as assigned.

• Must have professional experience of at least 3 years in Medicare data programming for pharmacoepidemiology or health services research. Master’s degree in related field (e.g., public health, epidemiology, statistics, quantitative social sciences, or economics) strongly preferred.

• Must be proficient in SAS. Experience with SQL, Stata, Excel, R, and Python a plus.

• Must have strong experience with medical coding systems (e.g., NDC, ICD-10, HCPCS, CPT) and an understanding of epidemiologic principles and basic medical terminology.

• Must have ability to work on multiple projects, adapt to project demands, prioritize tasks, develop workflow, and meet study deadlines.

• Must have ability to work with minimal supervision, be self-motivated, and work independently and as a part of a team.

• Must exhibit respect for participant confidentiality (including compliance to HIPAA Protected Health Information regulations), excellent communication skills, careful attention to details, good organizational skills, and ability to follow directions.

• Must be professional, proactive, collaborative, conscientious and results-oriented individual. Must have an optimistic and positive demeanor, excellent oral and written communication skills, good intuition and able to adapt to changing priorities and display good, sound judgment.
