Internship for GH students interested in Epi and Biostats
Partners In Health and the Government of Rwanda implemented a verbal autopsy study on causes of and factors associated with under-5 mortality in two rural districts as part of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation’s Population Health Implementation and Training (PHIT) partnership. A matched case-control design was used, and data were collected on presenting symptoms, social/demographic factors, and access to care. Opportunities for authorship may be considered depending on experience. The partnership is seeking a part-time analyst to conduct the case-control analysis.
The ideal candidate would have at least one year of experience working with a statistical package (e.g. SAS/STATA/R) and have taken courses in multivariate regression modeling (ideally familiar with generalized linear models and conditional logistic regression). Experience with preparing analyses for research abstracts or papers is a plus.
Interested parties can contact Dr. Neil Gupta (ngupta@pih.org) and Dr. Lisa Hirschhorn (lrhirschhorn@gmail.com) for more information.
