The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) is an independent research center at the University of Washington. Its mission is to monitor global health conditions and health systems, as well as to evaluate interventions, initiatives, and reforms. IHME carries out a range of projects within different research areas including: the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors; Future Health Scenarios; Costs and Cost Effectiveness; Local Burden of Disease; Resource Tracking; and Impact Evaluations. The aim is to provide policymakers, donors, and researchers with the highest-quality quantitative evidence base to make decisions that achieve better health.
IHME has an outstanding opportunity for an Instructional Designer. The incumbent in this role is responsible for the development of learning solutions for IHME staff. This role will be the key driver in connecting employees to IHME’s goals and mission, and will create and implement learning experiences throughout the onboarding period and beyond to set every IHME employee up for success. The successful applicant will help build and promote IHME’s agile, intellectually driven workforce allowing them to succeed efficiently and effectively in an ambitious, team-based environment.
The individual in this role will be responsible for the design, development, and assessment of learning solutions that support knowledge acquisition and skill development within the Institute. This position will play a key role in advancing the institute’s ability to conduct innovative and ground-breaking research through the creation of learning opportunities focused on bolstering staff technical, quantitative, managerial, communication, and leadership skills. Strong expertise in instructional design, curriculum development, eLearning and translating learning needs of staff into meaningful learning solutions to aid their proficiency in using cutting-edge technology, methods, and tools is an important requirement of this position. The incumbent must develop a robust understanding of IHME’s priority research areas, assess the skill and knowledge requirements needed to carry out work in these areas, and build curricula, teaching materials, and online trainings that help staff advance the institute to analyze, understand, and evaluate health challenges across the globe. A crucial feature of this position is the design and development of eLearning solutions that provide on-demand and agile learning opportunities to help staff achieve professional goals and acquire new skills. Direct engagement with various research and operational teams across the Institute to build learning solutions that catalyze their capacity to achieve IHME’s mission to improve the health of the world’s populations is also a key aspect of this role.
