Job opening - HEALTH DATA ANALYST - Atlanta, GA

SAS-Lers,

The dogwoods and azaleas are beautiful and the convertible tops are down in Atlanta. In spite of this two of our best analysts are moving to other cities (for family reasons). I will miss them professionally and personally. Our misfortune may be your good fortune.

The Georgia Medical Care Foundation (www.gmcf.org), a nonprofit medical quality improvement organization, has been in business in Atlanta since the early 70's. We are a modest size company of 130 people. We offer competitive salaries, excellent benefits, and a pleasant collegial working environment. Next week we are moving to a new "class A" office complex in North Atlanta. The company is financially stable and derives most of its income from federal and state multi year contracts.

Below is an ad copy which will appear in this Sunday's Atlanta Journal Constitution. A more detailed job description is also pasted below. You may e-mail me with questions if you wish. But ONLY applications and resumes received through the Human Resources Department will be considered. Don't send your resume to me. I can only look at resumes received through Human Resources.
