Subject: Position Opening – Statistician With Expertise in Causal Modeling

Dear Colleague:
I am writing to introduce you to MTPPI (www.mtppi.org). Our research interests are in conducting assessments of the clinical effectiveness of new healthcare technologies. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit institute established in 1986 and a recipient of a current NIH grant (see attached).

We are seeking a statistician with expertise in causal modeling to assist us in phase II of this and other grants. I have attached an announcement of the position. If you know of likely candidates, I’d be most appreciative if you would let them know of our interest.

Many thanks for your assistance,

Dennis J. Cotter
