About the role

The Junior Data Analyst role is a key part of the Centre for Health Policy, and the Institute of Global Health Innovation (IGHI) at Imperial. The post will involve working with multidisciplinary teams, including academics, policy fellows, clinicians, and patient and public involvement professionals to deliver quantitative analyses for both academic research and policy projects.

As our Junior Data Analyst, you will develop and deliver quantitative analyses to support IGHI’s Centre for Health Policy projects. You will leverage a mix of statistics, data science, and data visualisation techniques to derive insights from healthcare data across different topics, including behavioural science, patient safety, digital health, and mental health. You will work with a broad range of healthcare datasets from national and global sources, and support both academic and non-academic (e.g. policy) outputs.
