Research Economist - Health Care Systems Research

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About The Hiring Group" and description. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for each section heading only if there is real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "EEO & Pay Equity Statements" etc. Also remove "For San Francisco..." etc. Also remove "EEO & Pay Equity Statements". Also remove "Equal Pay Act Minimum/Range $114,000 - $140,000" maybe that is pay info, we need Pay section if posting actually states them. Yes they gave anticipated pay range. So we need a Pay section with that range. We also have Benefits described: "competitive base salary, a generous paid time off policy, merit based annual increases, bonus opportunities and a robust recognition program. Other benefits include a competitive range of insurance plans (including health, dental, life, and short-term and long-term disability), access to a retirement savings program such as a 401(k) plan, paid parental leave for all parents, financial assistance with adoption expenses or infertility treatments, financial reimbursement for education and developmental opportunities, an employee assistance program, and numerous other offerings to support a healthy work-life balance." So we can include Benefits section. Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info. So we should not create Schedule section. Skills: Could be derived from qualifications? But we need to only create sections if posting has real specific content. The posting includes qualifications (minimum and preferred) and also skills like proficiency with MS Office, programming languages, etc. We could put those under Skills or Qualifications. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have About the role: The initial paragraph about RTI and the hiring group description could be "About the role". Could also be "About The Hiring Group". We'll use About the role. Responsibilities: The "What You'll Do" bullet list. Requirements: Could be minimum qualifications? Or we could separate Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). But we have both. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But they gave separate headings. We need to decide. We have Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could treat them as Qualifications section (including both). Or we could have Requirements (minimum) and Qualifications (preferred). Since they are distinct, we could include both sections if they have content. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine into one Qualifications section that includes both minimum and preferred. But we also have Skills (proficiency with MS Office, programming). Could be part of Qualifications. Better: Use sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (including minimum and preferred), Benefits, Pay. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's extract content. About the role: The initial paragraph: "Why RTI RTI International is an independent, scientific research institute dedicated to improving the human condition. Our vision is to address the world's most critical problems with technical and science-based solutions in pursuit of a better future. Clients rely on us to answer questions that demand an objective and multidisciplinary approach—one that integrates expertise across social, statistical, data, and laboratory sciences, engineering, and other technical disciplines to solve the world’s most challenging problems. We believe in the promise of science and technical solutions, and we push ourselves every day to deliver on that promise for the good of people, communities, and businesses in the US and around the world. If you are looking for the opportunity to make a real difference, RTI is the place for you. About The Hiring Group RTI International’s Department of Health Care Systems Research has an opening for a Research Economist to serve as a task and project leader for evaluation, analysis, design, and implementation of innovative health care delivery policies, programs, and models. As a Research Economist, you will provide cutting-edge analyses that will influence health care policy and health care system innovation, particularly within the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Using large health care datasets, you will design, evaluate, and support policies related to health care insurance, payment, and delivery models; managed care; health care financing, costs, utilization, and quality; health insurance coverage and access; prescription drugs; and risk and case-mix adjustment through statistical analysis. You will lead analytic projects as an integral part of a team, apply an in-depth understanding of critical health policy issues and methods, contribute to and lead proposals to funding entities, and publish and present on findings for scientific audiences. (see: https://www.rti.org/focus-area/health). This role is well-suited for economists and applied researchers with experience in academia, government, industry, or contract research who are interested in advancing evidence-based health policy. Candidates may choose to work remotely within the United States or from RTI's headquarters in Research Triangle Park, NC." We need to keep that as prose under About the role. Responsibilities: The "What You'll Do" list: - Lead and/or contribute to quantitative research and evaluation activities on a broad range of health policy and health services research topics. - Design, specify and supervise descriptive and statistical analyses of large, complex datasets. - Translate analytic findings into clear, actionable insights for technical, policy, and client audiences. - Author technical reports, memoranda, articles, documentation, and regulations. - Ensure high quality and accuracy of work products. - Develop and manage project budgets, timelines, and plans to achieve goals within available resources. - Supervise and manage research staff in completing project tasks. - Communicate and negotiate work plans, timelines, budgets, and results with clients. - Lead and/or contribute to technical proposals including methodological designs. - Collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary teams of varying technical expertise - Maintain and deepen expertise in health care policy, research methods, and health care data sources. We need to put each as

inside

. Qualifications: Minimum and Preferred. Minimum Qualifications: - PhD in economics, health policy, health services research, actuarial science, operations research, finance, or a related quantitative field; or a Master’s degree in the same fields with at least 6 years of relevant experience. - Demonstrated experience leading or substantially contributing to applied quantitative research and evaluation projects. - Expertise in micro-econometrics, simulation analysis, program design and implementation, and program evaluation applied to real-world policy questions. - Demonstrated experience applying causal and statistical inference methods to complex data. - Ability to communicate (both written and verbal) complex technical concepts and information clearly and precisely to diverse audiences. - Experience collaborating effectively within multidisciplinary teams. - Proficiency with Microsoft Office 365 Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.). - To qualify, applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States and should not require, now or in the future, sponsorship for employment visa status (e.g., H-1B visa status, etc.). Preferred Qualifications: - Experience conducting analysis to understand the impact of public programs and other policy interventions. - Experience with the analysis of prescription drug pricing and utilization. - Experience with domestic (United States) health policy, particularly the Medicare or Medicaid programs. - Experience with large program and administrative data. - Experience in project, task, timeline, and budget management. - Ability to program and analyze quantitative data with R, Python, SQL, and/or Stata. We could combine these into a Qualifications section with two subheadings? But we cannot add extra headings beyond the allowed list? The instruction only says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should stick to those. Could we embed Minimum and Preferred as paragraphs within Qualifications? Probably yes. We could also have Skills section for proficiency with MS Office and programming languages. But we already included those in Qualifications. Might be better to separate Skills: MS Office proficiency, programming languages (R, Python, SQL, Stata). However the instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe keep Qualifications only. Benefits: as described. Pay: The anticipated pay range: $114,000 - $140,000. Also mention that pay ranges represent national averages and may vary by location, etc. But we should preserve all substantive information. The paragraph: "The anticipated pay range for this role is listed below. Our pay ranges represent national averages and may vary by location as a geographic differential may be applied to some locations within the United States. RTI considers multiple factors when making an offer including, for example: established salary range, internal budget, business needs, and education and years of work experience possessed by the applicant. Further, salary is merely one element to our offer. At RTI, we demonstrate our commitment to rewarding individual and team achievement through a total rewards package. This package includes (among other things) a competitive base salary, a generous paid time off policy, merit based annual increases, bonus opportunities and a robust recognition program. Other benefits include a competitive range of insurance plans (including health, dental, life, and short-term and long-term disability), access to a retirement savings program such as a 401(k) plan, paid parental leave for all parents, financial assistance with adoption expenses or infertility treatments, financial reimbursement for education and developmental opportunities, an employee assistance program, and numerous other offerings to support a healthy work-life balance." We already captured benefits in Benefits section. For Pay section, we should include the range and maybe note that it's national average and may vary. But we should not repeat benefits details in Pay section; we can keep Pay section just the range and maybe note that it's national average. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details about pay ranges representing national averages, may vary, etc. That is substantive. So Pay section should include that paragraph (maybe trimmed of benefits duplication). But we already have Benefits section that includes the benefits details. The Pay paragraph includes also benefits description; we risk duplication. We could split: Pay section includes the range and the statement about national averages, etc. Benefits section includes the benefits list. The paragraph about total rewards package includes both salary and benefits; we could allocate benefits part to Benefits, and salary part to Pay. But we must not lose any info. Let's extract: Pay-related sentences: - "The anticipated pay range for this role is listed below." - "Our pay ranges represent national averages and may vary by location as a geographic differential may be applied to some locations within the United States." - "RTI considers multiple factors when making an offer including, for example: established salary range, internal budget, business needs, and education and years of work experience possessed by the applicant." - "Further, salary is merely one element to our offer." - "At RTI, we demonstrate our commitment to rewarding individual and team achievement through a total rewards package." - Then list of benefits: "This package includes (among other things) a competitive base salary, a generous paid time off policy, merit based annual increases, bonus opportunities and a robust recognition program. Other benefits include a competitive range of insurance plans (including health, dental, life, and short-term and long-term disability), access to a retirement savings program such as a 401(k) plan, paid parental leave for all parents, financial assistance with adoption expenses or infertility treatments, financial reimbursement for education and developmental opportunities, an employee assistance program, and numerous other offerings to support a healthy work-life balance." We could keep the benefits list in Benefits section, and the preceding sentences about pay range and considerations in Pay section. The sentence "At RTI, we demonstrate our commitment to rewarding individual and team achievement through a total rewards package." could be considered part of Benefits intro. We'll put that in Benefits. Thus Pay section: include the anticipated pay range, the
