Eligibility, licensing, and location restrictions can change. Always confirm details on the source posting before applying.
Why this is worth applying to
Worth considering only if you already have health economics/policy research, advanced quantitative analysis, and federal proposal or project leadership experience. Clinicians without that research track record will likely be screened out.
Who should apply
Physicians, nurses, pharmacists, or healthcare graduates with health economics, health services research, public health, or policy training plus substantial research, data analysis, and proposal/project leadership experience.
CV angle
Reframe clinical experience as health-system domain expertise: outcomes and quality improvement, cost/utilization awareness, policy exposure, research publications, statistical analysis, work with large datasets, stakeholder communication, and project or proposal leadership. Do not overstate economics credentials you do not have.
Skills to highlight
- Health economics
- US health policy research
- Research design and statistical methods
- Large administrative data analysis
- Advanced statistical programming
- Proposal writing and federal RFP response
- Project and budget management
- Peer-reviewed publications
