Who we are:

We provide the evidence base to answer questions like: Why do some neighborhoods have higher rates of cancer mortality than others? Will restrictions on the sale of certain tobacco products reduce the rate of teen vaping in Philadelphia? What policies or programs have worked to reduce gun violence in other communities, and could they work in Philadelphia?

The mission of the Health Federation of Philadelphia is to improve access to and quality of health care services for under served and vulnerable individuals and families.
Since 1983, The Health Federation has served as a network of the community health centers in Southeastern Pennsylvania, providing a forum for the region's federally qualified health centers and the Philadelphia Department of Public Health to collaborate and mobilize resources for their shared goals of improving the health of the population by expanding access to high quality care.
Job Description
JOB SUMMARY
Who we are: The mission of the Philadelphia Department of Public Health (PDPH) is to protect and promote the health of all Philadelphians and to provide a safety net for the most vulnerable. Within PDPH, the Division of Chronic Disease and Injury Prevention (aka “Get Healthy Philly”), works to change policies, systems, and environments to make healthy living an easy choice for residents. The goals of our programs are to reduce obesity, smoking, and other known risk factors for chronic diseases. We are also expanding our injury prevention work, with a focus on reducing gun violence. The Division is especially concerned about documenting, understanding, and working to reduce disparities in health.
The Public Health Data Lab at Get Healthy Philly conducts innovative research and analysis that directly informs city policy and guides public health decisions. We provide the evidence base to answer questions like: Why do some neighborhoods have higher rates of cancer mortality than others? Will restrictions on the sale of certain tobacco products reduce the rate of teen vaping in Philadelphia? What policies or programs have worked to reduce gun violence in other communities, and could they work in Philadelphia?
Our values: Get Healthy Philly's work is guided by our commitment to all people's health and humanity. We believe:
· All people have the right to live to their fullest potential.
· All communities have the right to create environments that allow them to grow and thrive.
· Public health policy must be based on collaboration and true community partnerships.
· Genuine public health progress must be based on the recognition that knowledge comes in many forms and many places in our society.
· Success and progress will only come when we treat people, communities, partners, and staff with care and respect.

Candidates should have experience with designing and analyzing rigorous quantitative and qualitative research and have strong communication and technical writing skills.
The Associate will plan, manage and implement data analytic activities related to the work of the Get Healthy Philly team. This will include collecting, cleaning, and managing data; performing statistical analysis; and summarizing results for scientific, policy-oriented, and public audiences. The Associate will use appropriate data sources to monitor trends, patterns, and changes in risk factors and health outcomes. Factors of interest include the health behaviors of individuals, the demographic characteristics of populations, the policy environment, and the built environment. While academic journal publications are encouraged, the primary purpose of our work is to inform and advise policymakers and the public.
