Do you want to make a difference and help drive the work of the National Board of Health and Welfare forward?

The Department of Analysis monitors, analyzes, and evaluates developments in health care, dental care, and social services.

We now need to strengthen the statistical competence in the survey support group and are therefore looking for an experienced statistician.

About the position

A cornerstone of the National Board of Health and Welfare's analysis work is to gather information through surveys, where the agency's survey support group is responsible for providing methodological support during the agency's data collections and analyses.

We are looking for someone who wants to work as an internal consultant on issues related to survey processing, statistics, and statistical methodology. The work involves:

• identifying and defining survey variables and sampling frames
• participating in the construction of questionnaires and primarily from a statistical perspective processing and analyzing survey data.

You should have good methodological knowledge in statistics, including sampling and other quantitative methods.

About you

The tasks require that you are structured, proactive, and have good problem-solving skills. In order to contribute to the development work, it is a prerequisite that you are collaborative. At times, the work pace can be high, which makes it important to be able to prioritize independently and adapt your work depending on the prevailing conditions. During the recruitment process, we will place great emphasis on your personal qualities.

We are looking for someone who has

• an academic degree with a focus on statistics, or other education that the National Board of Health and Welfare finds relevant for the position
• work experience where statistics and analysis were part of the tasks
• good experience in statistical programming in any relevant programming language (R, SAS, Python, or others)
• the ability to present results verbally and/or in writing in Swedish
• experience working in projects or as a project manager

It is meritorious if you have

• current experience of government work within, for example, state, municipality, or region
• experience supporting others in statistical methodology issues
• good and current knowledge of SAS programming
• experience understanding and using SAS macros
• experience with GDPR and confidentiality issues
• experience in planning and conducting surveys, both total and sample surveys

Good to know

The employment is a permanent position with an initial probationary period. You will be based at the office at Västerbroplan in Stockholm, but have the opportunity to work remotely up to two days a week. Your job title will be statistician and your placement will be in the Department of Analysis, the unit for surveys and quantitative analyses.

When you apply, you will need to answer a number of selection questions related to the requirements profile in the ad. Your answers will be used as part of the selection process and may determine whether you proceed in the recruitment process or not. It is therefore important that you answer as thoroughly and clearly as possible. We do not use the personal letter in the selection, so you only attach your CV.
