The Research Analyst will collaborate with several project teams and will work independently to efficiently manage multiple and overlapping timelines and deliverables. The position offers significant professional development opportunities at a leading research organization with nationally recognized experience in public health research, including tobacco control and health services research.

• Presenting research findings to internal audiences, clients, and professional meetings


• Contributing to project logistics including coordinating internal and external project communications, scheduling meetings, developing meeting agendas, notetaking, and following up as necessary, as well as drafting progress reports and monitoring achievement of project milestones
