The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) is an independent research organization at the University of Washington (UW). Its mission is to deliver to the world timely, relevant, and scientifically valid evidence to improve health policy and practice. IHME carries out its mission through a range of projects within different research areas including the Global Burden of Diseases (GBD), Injuries, and Risk Factors; Future Health Scenarios; Cost Effectiveness and Efficiency; Resource Tracking; and Impact Evaluations.
IHME is committed to providing the evidence base necessary to help solve the world’s most important health problems. This requires creativity and innovation, which are cultivated by an inclusive, diverse, and equitable environment that respects and appreciates differences, embraces collaboration, and invites the voices of all IHME team members.
The Scientific Computing team at IHME provides usable software tooling that enables researchers to run models reliably and reproducibly on any computing platform, when and where IHME requires, using the correct data, without losing time to avoidable errors, with the minimum of effort by the researcher. Priority tools include but are not limited to those supporting workflow management, integrated testing, and exploration and implementation of AI and other emerging technologies.
IHME has an outstanding opportunity for a Research Engineer I (E S 8 SEIU 925 IHME) to join our Scientific Computing team.
We are looking for a motivated individual to join a team of engineers in building a modern, reproducible, data-driven research infrastructure. The ideal incumbent will be comfortable working with methods to build, implement, and support analytical software tools that can easily be utilized by other staff with less coding experience. The position requires problem-solving and consulting with methods developers to resolve tool-specific bugs, diagnose code problems, and devise solutions for new requirements. This position is contingent upon project funding availability.
