      Position Description
      The RAND Corporation is seeking master's level statisticians to work on multi-disciplinary research teams across in-demand areas of research. Candidates should be well-organized, self-motivated, analytical thinkers who can adapt to changing work environments across projects. Statistical Analysts typically work closely with Ph.D. statisticians and other specialists to provide a multi-disciplinary approach to research, analysis, and problem solving. Common tasks for this position include data organization, database development, statistical computing and modeling, application of survey methodologies and development of survey weights, interpretation and discussion of results with research teams, auditing data quality, creation of publication-ready graphs and tables, documentation of data and analyses, and drafting method and result sections of peer-reviewed papers and reports. Statistical Analysts’ careers typically progress by building technical and substantive knowledge and problem-solving skills. Many analyses and most database development use SAS; however, many teams use R or Stata.
