Description
Who we are: John Snow, Inc. (JSI), a leading public health research and consulting organization dedicated to advancing the health of individuals and communities, is seeking a Project Associate to join our energetic and collaborative Providence team. This position will be responsible for supporting our growing portfolio of U.S.-based evaluation, training and technical assistance, and/or health needs assessment and strategic planning projects in one or more of the following areas: behavioral health, health care and payment reform, health and racial equity, women’s health, maternal and child health, LGBTQIA+ health, HIV, and safety-net service delivery. The Project Associate hired for this position will also work from a satellite office as a Data Abstractor and will be responsible for interfacing with multi-disciplinary teams to gather and abstract data for national public health studies. 25-50% of the Project Associate’s time will be dedicated to the Data Abstractor role. The ideal candidate will be a flexible and enthusiastic individual with a desire to support JSI’s mission of promoting and improving health for all, with a focus on vulnerable populations.
How we work: We pride ourselves on being a workplace where people from a wide variety of lived experiences have the freedom to pursue their passions and take an active part in shaping the future of our work. We have a bias toward action: We do research with the explicit intent of influencing policy change and changes in practice and have results to show it. We understand that the public health field needs to reflect the diversity of our communities and are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team.
Our office culture is strong—we care about each other as coworkers and as individuals and strive to extend flexibility to staff so that they can manage life, while still meeting the demands of the job. We are committed to each other’s success and view performance evaluations as collaborative experiences for growth and development.
About the role: We are hiring a full-time Project Associate/Data Abstractor to join our Rhode Island team, based in Providence. Please note that this will be a hybrid position and the person in the project associate/data abstractor role will be expected to work in-person at the RI Medical Examiner's Office a few days a week (JSI Providence staff have been working remotely since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and are now encouraged to work in-office two days a week.) This position is designed to provide a breadth of exposure to multiple areas of domestic public health for a recent graduate or early career professional looking to launch a career in public health, health policy, or a related field. For this role, we’re looking for someone who embraces opportunities for growth and thrives in roles of responsibility with quick turnaround times. Our office is small and our team works closely together: all staff members work across multiple projects simultaneously with a high-level of individual accountability.
Annual salary is $52,500 - $56,700 (depending on years of experience) plus excellent benefits including: health insurance, dental, vision, and a 401k with a company match.
