The TeamThe Institute for Disease Modeling (IDM) is an embedded research institute with the Gates Foundation. We develop, use, and share computational modeling tools, and promote quantitative decision-making to support global efforts to eradicate infectious diseases and achieve permanent improvements in the health of those most in need. The IDM team comprises both research scientists and software engineers who work with a wide ecosystem of partners including universities, NGOs, government ministries and other research organizations.
The goal of IDM's Global Public Goods (GPG) strategy is to create a sustainable ecosystem of open-source tools that empower local partners in low-resource settings to accelerate the evidence to policy lifecycle. A key requirement in executing this strategy is to ensure IDM’s software offerings are easy to use and well understood by a global community of modelers without needing advanced software skills. User Onboarding refers to the set of processes that are driven to improve the experience of a well-defined set of users with IDM’s software and tools.
Your Role
This role is responsible for defining and executing the strategy for user onboarding, as part of IDM’s software team. This includes defining user personas, building clear workflows for user onboarding with identified R&R, cross-functional collaboration across research and software and using technology advances like AI to improve the productivity and effectiveness of the software team in building superior experience for LMIC researchers across the world.
