Mar 28, 2018
Full time
Based in Washington D.C, BlueLabs was formed in early 2013 by senior members of the Obama for America analytics team. We help organizations personalize their engagements with individuals, optimize communications, and achieve their strategic goals. Our team includes more than 40 data scientists, engineers, and strategists from diverse backgrounds who share a passion for using data to solve the world’s greatest social and analytical challenges. Through our work, we’ve directly and measurably improved the health and financial security of millions of Americans. Since 2013, we’ve served more than 300 organizations, run more than 1,000 randomized experiments, built hundreds of models, generated over 6 billion touch points, reached virtually every contactable person in the United States, and driven significant improvements in some of the highest-profile private sector, advocacy, and government programs around the world. Along the way, we’ve developed some of the most innovative tools available in media optimization, reporting, and influencer outreach.  Our clients range from political campaigns to advocacy groups, unions, government agencies, and international groups, as well as global companies in the automotive, travel, consumer packaged goods, entertainment, healthcare, media, telecom, and other industries.  As part of the campaigns team at BlueLabs you’ll be working with a group of analysts and data scientists who primarily work with political and advocacy clients looking to win elections and influence voters.   The Senior Analyst position requires a mix of analysis, leadership and communication. You’ll be responsible for managing relationships with your clients and leading other staff members in providing the tools and answers that clients need. This role is great for those who have led teams before and are looking to create new connections, or those who have mastered the fundamentals of data-driven analysis and are looking to lead project-based teams.   Senior analysts are project managers with one foot in the data and one foot in the client’s world. As advisers and strategists, you’ll be looking at the big picture but you’ll also need to wrestle with the data itself. You’ll also be framing the questions our team answers and identifying and communicating trends you and other team members sees in the data using a mix of your own and your team’s analysis, and the solutions and products provided by our analysts, engineers and data scientists. Past senior analysts have worked as consultants or embedded analysts on Gubernatorial or Senate campaigns, managed projects for major party committees, advised congressional campaigns, and led development of new avenues of research. Your team will be responsible for answering questions like: What political trends should a campaign be aware of and what are their different pathways to victory? Which experiment type would find the right mode to contact persuadable voters? How do you design a test that tells us the impact of different messages? How do we present analysis and reports so our partners get the information they need? Who you are: You are passionate about harnessing data-driven solutions to improve social outcomes. You’ve got an interest and understanding of scientific findings and you are familiar with how to read a regression output, particularly thinking about how to apply it. You’re comfortable being a connector between worlds - you can relate to an analyst focused on the potential academic contribution of her research and with the head of a department who needs to make time constrained decisions on a budget. You've managed multiple projects under tight deadlines. You have the spirit of a self-starter. Preferred Experience and Background A bachelor’s or master’s degree in a related field (including, but not limited to, political science, economics, math, statistics, physics, or another major with strong quantitative emphasis) and a few years of experience in leadership or project management roles in an analytical setting. A knack for finding elegant, creative, and cost-effective solutions to complex problems. Strong and broad technical communication skills - you can write for a technical audience but you can also boil down a model, experiment, or engineering solution to an elevator pitch for a campaign manager or CEO to understand. Experience with statistical programs (SAS, SPSS, R, Python etc) and spreadsheet and presentation software (Excel, Google Sheets, PowerPoint, Keynote) is preferred. A background in campaign data/analytics is a plus. Experience with at least one programming language (Python, Java, Ruby), SQL queries, and data visualizations (GIS, Tableau, etc.) is a plus. Responsibilities: Managing relationships and day-to-day communication with our clients. Understanding clients’ needs on an ongoing basis and directing BlueLabs’ resources to meet those needs. Trouble-shooting problems as they arise and being continually agile with implementing solutions. Providing data analysis to address clients’ challenges. Creating and delivering presentations and trainings that clearly and effectively communicate BlueLabs’ work and outcomes. Communicating information between clients and internal technical teams. Developing new and innovative ways to employ BlueLabs’ technology and analytics products to an ever-growing array of challenges and situations. Overseeing multiple projects and identifying priorities to ensure timely and successful completion of projects. Effectively collaborating with a team of experts and problem solvers. We know that the best candidate may not fit neatly into the boxes we define here so if this sounds like a place you want to work, even if you're not confident you perfectly match our posting, we still encourage you to apply! We welcome diverse, out-of-the-box thinking, and we strive to provide an ecosystem for innovation and development. If you want more information about who we are as a team, check out our Facebook page, Twitter, or Instagram.

Research Manager (Madagascar) / Post Doctoral Research Fellow (Harvard Medical School)
PIVOT Works, Inc. Ranomafana, Madagascar
Mar 14, 2018
Full time
Title: Research Manager / Post Doctoral Research Fellow Reports to: Research Advisor / National Director Location: Ranomafana, Madagascar Percentage Effort:  Full-time Key Words:  Global health, implementation research, epidemiology, capacity building Start Date:  June 1st, 2018 Expected Commitment: Minimum of 2 years Organizational Profile PIVOT ( www.pivotworks.org ) is a global health care NGO guided by the principle that all people have intrinsic worth and deserve to live healthy and productive lives. As a social justice organization working in a setting of extreme poverty and disease, our core objective is to address social inequity by advancing universal access to quality healthcare, while creating a health care system that can serve as a model for the country of Madagascar. Since 2014, we have partnered with the government of Madagascar to strengthen the health system and create a model health district in Ifanadiana district, adjacent to Ranomafana National Park and 11 hours from the capital. The district has a catchment area of 200,000 people, more than 75 percent of whom live in extreme poverty. PIVOT collaborates directly with the Madagascar Ministry of Health (MoH) to strengthen a district hospital, 20 health centers, and community health programs. Our model is advanced across three major components: 1) horizontal readiness (e.g. infrastructure, supply chain, personnel), 2) vertically integrated clinical programs (e.g. maternal and child health, malnutrition, tuberculosis), and 3) data systems and research. Currently PIVOT is a 180-person organization with 6 international staff in Madagascar, and a United States-based headquarters. We see the research space in which we work as a unique “crucible” for science and innovation in an ecologically important environment with a distinctive constellation of academic partners working in a broad range of scientific disciplines. We promote implementation research of interest to the MoH that can inform health programs or produce lessons for replicating and scaling-up of the model. We also support scientific research on underlying social, economic, and environmental drivers of disease. As a data-driven organization, PIVOT counts as its data flagship an ongoing longitudinal cohort study to track the population-level effects of our intervention. In addition, our Monitoring and Evaluation team tracks key indicators of every program implemented by PIVOT over time on a regular basis. This provides an opportunity to evaluate programs and address scientific questions with an unprecedented level of detail for a non-governmental health systems organization.  Position Overview   The research manager will work closely with PIVOT’s leadership to launch and coordinate implementation science initiatives to evaluate PIVOT clinical programs and health systems initiatives (including quality of care, data improvement, and universal health coverage).

For this reason, the position will be combined with a joint postdoctoral fellowship appointment in the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School. The successful candidate can expect rigorous mentorship by both the onsite research advisor and Dr. Bonds. In addition to leading PIVOT’s implementation science agenda, there will be ample space for the candidate to pursue research projects of interest to his/her career development. Responsibilities Coordinate research projects, including data collection and project management. Create systems and infrastructure for supporting long- and short-term operational and scientific research initiatives and partnerships. With the PIVOT team and partners, identify opportunities and topics for new operational and clinical research projects. This includes support for the M&E team in the selection of key indicators to be used for program evaluation, collection of additional data for research purposes, as well as data analysis and dissemination of results through policy channels and international scientific journals. Elaborate Annual Plan for research in harmony with PIVOT’s work planning processes. Manage and report on set pieces of the organization’s site-based research budget. Assist in the development of grant proposals to support PIVOT research/synergistic partnerships. Liaise with key partners at the Ministry of Health, Institute of Statistics, national universities and other Malagasy institutions, as well as international research partners.

At least 2 years of experience living and working in a resource-poor, international setting. Demonstrated track record in operational research or field epidemiology, including study design, data collection, analysis, and publication. Experience in mentorship and capacity building.

Commitment to living and working in rural Madagascar. Flexibility and aptitude for managing projects across multiple domains.

Demonstrated commitment to global health and social justice. It is important that the Research Coordinator sees themselves as part of a social justice organization, believes strongly in the work we do, advocates on behalf of the patients we serve, and sees research and data as key to fulfilling our mission.
