About the role

  • At HealthLeap, you'll ask the hard questions about hospital care.
  • Who gets missed, and for which conditions?
  • Where does screening help, and where doesn't it?

Responsibilities

  • Own research projects end-to-end, from study design through analysis, interpretation, and publication.
  • Design and run observational and quasi-experimental studies on real-world hospital data.
  • You'll be early enough to build the research agenda from scratch, but late enough to know the product already works.
  • You'll get support from, and work closely with, our data science and engineering teams, who know the data inside and out.
  • You'll be our first dedicated research hire, which means you get to help set research priorities for HealthLeap and own your research portfolio.

Requirements

  • Deep expertise in causal inference on observational data: difference-in-differences, regression discontinuity, interrupted time series, propensity methods.
  • Fluency in Python, including the ability to wrangle large, observational clinical datasets.
  • A track record of owning analyses or full research projects independently.
  • Hands-on experience with EHR, claims, and billing data.
  • Experience presenting research at conferences or to external audiences.

Compensation

  • $170,000 to $215,000.

Benefits

  • HealthLeap is building the AI operating system that helps care teams identify these missed patients, enabling them to improve health outcomes and generate millions of dollars.
  • Over the past year, we've grown contracted revenue more than 13x, expanded rapidly across leading health systems, and now help care teams identify patients across millions of inpatient encounters.
  • EHR data from 40+ hospitals, hundreds of thousands of patients, real deployments, and your pick of health system partners.
  • At least 2 years of (non-PhD) experience conducting observational health research using large healthcare databases.
  • Familiarity with healthcare quality metrics and health system benchmarking.
  • If you're passionate about applying frontier AI to real-world impact, join us in building healthcare's future.
