Research Assistant – Columbia Business School

Research Assistant needed to help clean/process data. Get involved in a research project with Columbia Business School professors working with Medicare data to assess the impact of Senior Living Facilities on healthcare utilization. We need help with cleaning, processing and reformatting Medicare claims data. The intent is for the RA to work for a long enough duration so they can be involved in conducting some statistical analysis (e.g. t-tests and regressions).

Qualified candidates should have skills in Excel and a coding language such as Python, R, or SAS. The candidate must also be willing to do online HIPAA training (~2-3 hours) in order to work with patient health records. Preference will be given to Masters or PhD students whose graduation date is May 2022 or later. Students in Computer Science, Statistics, Economics, DSI, Electrical Engineering, IEOR, or other data-focused and quantitative fields are encouraged to apply.

Hourly rate will be $25/hour with an expectation of approximately 15-20 hours/week. Due to current visa restrictions, the candidate must be US-based.

Send a CV, transcript and brief cover letter outlining qualifications and indicating availability and graduation date to apb2@gsb.columbia.educwchan@columbia.edu, and fanyin.zheng@columbia.edu. Use the following subject line: CMS RA.
