"....IHME aspires to make available to the world high-quality
information on population health, its determinants, and the performance
of health systems. We seek to achieve this directly, by catalyzing the
work of others and by training researchers as well as policy makers. Our
goal is to improve the health of the world's populations by providing
the best information on population health. 
The IHME Post-Graduate Fellowship Program provides a unique opportunity
for individuals with graduate-level training and a strong quantitative
background to conduct in-depth, methodological research on a variety of
global health topics with the mentorship of faculty and senior
researchers. Through research, training workshops and mentorship, the
program is intended to enhance the analytical skills of future academics
and professional leaders in the field of global health measurement and
evaluation. 
Post-Graduate Fellows will contribute directly to the overall research
agenda of IHME and will be involved in all aspects of projects including
analyzing and synthesizing existing data, catalyzing new data
collection, building statistical models and validating new analytical
methods, interpreting findings, and reporting and disseminating results.
Post-Graduate Fellows will be involved in research in one of six key
areas of work: health outcomes, health services, resource inputs,
evaluations, decision analytics, and tools and instruments. 


Post-Graduate Fellowships are appointed at IHME for one year with the
possibility of renewal for a second year upon mutual agreement. The
salary is $50,000 during the first year and subject to a merit increase
during the second year. As University of Washington employees fellows
