Why you’ll love this position:
As a Research Analyst with the Bureau of Health Care Analysis and Data Dissemination, you’ll use your analytical skills to turn data into insights that help improve the health and well-being of Missourians. This position will work closely with health data and help make the data easily understandable to the public.

If the individual selected or the position is eligible for a pay differential (e.g., shift, security, or years of service), it will be added to the total compensation in your paycheck. A pay differential does not raise your base pay.- Assist with writing and editing regular reports such as the Biennial Missouri Rural Health Report and The State Health Improvement Plan.

- Complete ad-hoc data requests through SAS or data website like the Census Bureau.
- Create and design handouts and fact sheets for MOPHIMS and other health-related data topics.
- Track performance measures for dashboards and websites using Google Analytics.
- Work with others on the Data Dissemination team to enhance/improve MOPHIMS and other health data systems.

- Experience with spreadsheets and word processing programs such as Excel and Word, as well as other PC desktop resources.
- Experience with SAS or other statistical software and general programming techniques is highly desirable but not required.
- Interest in data presentation and data visualization software is helpful.
- Highly organized and detail-oriented with strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Experience with Adobe products such as Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign are not required but would be beneficial.
