Job Title: Marketing Analyst

I am working at Analysis Group, a Boston-based firm that provides economics litigation and healthcare consulting. Over the past few months at AG, I have helped conduct economic analysis for marketing, intellectual property, and finance cases. On the cases, I assisted in literature review, survey design, argument development, and data analysis. The QSS major has helped me develop the research skills needed to for this position. For example, Data Visualization taught me ways to work with and effectively visualize data through R, a programming language that is commonly used at AG. Writing a QSS thesis also provided valuable experience in all stages of the research process, enabling me to critically think about the problems at-issue and map potential ways to address each question.

Job Title: Director Of Business Development

I am the Director of Business Development at TekRefurbs, an IT refurbishing and recycling firm. My family started the company back in 2005, and my QSS degree has helped me bring the business into the 21st century. In my time at the company, I have helped automate our online pricing and inventory management systems, saving thousands of working hours a year. I have also helped us implement a new bulk purchasing method using "regular expressions" in R and Google Sheets, which helps us minimize errors in our supply chain. These are all tasks that I wouldn't have been able to accomplish without my QSS background. QSS gave me the tools to not only evaluate large data sets with ease, but also to actualize the outputs of those data sets for my business. Additionally, the social science classes I took within QSS prepared me well for my role. The public policy classes I took through QSS gave me strong writing and speaking skills, which allowed me to manage multiple teams from Day 1. I am grateful for the combination of analytics and management skills I learned in the QSS program.

Job Title: Revenue Strategy Analyst

I am currently working at United Airlines on a Revenue Strategy team. My colleagues and I analyze and predict booking trends for the entire airline. The QSS major at Dartmouth has helped me post-graduation in a multitude of ways. The program gives students a thorough technical background in applied computation. Everyone that graduated with me left Dartmouth with a solid expertise in R and/or Python. Having these skills definitely contributed to my job security while working for an airline during a global pandemic. QSS also enables students to tackle large scale data questions regardless of field. The courses offered combined with the thesis program provide students with an opportunity to not only grow their computational skills but also their analytical, research, and presentation skills, all of which have personally benefited me in the professional world.

Job Title: Healthcare Consulting

I am working at Trinity Life Sciences in NYC next year! It's a healthcare consulting firm that I worked at last summer and really enjoyed. The work combines quantitative skills with healthcare and science knowledge in a really interesting way. I absolutely feel like the QSS major has prepared me well for this job because it has given me the quantitative skill I need, and my QSS concentration was in global health, so I was also already working with data in the healthcare space in my research projects.

Job Title: Research Associate in the Greka Lab at The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard

This past August, I joined the Greka Lab at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in Cambridge, MA. Since its founding in 2004, the Broad has accelerated biomedical research and helped improve human health through its commitment to identify the root biological causes of disease and find new opportunities for therapeutic intervention. As a QSS major, I became interested in quantitative methods (statistics / machine learning) and their application to understand many different fields – including population health, genetics, and biology. In my current role as a Research Associate, I apply these quantitative frameworks to analyze data and investigate the mechanisms underlying rare genetic diseases.

Job Title: Patient Experience Associate

Since graduating, I started work at Oak Street Health, a Chicago-based primary care company for older adults on Medicare. I'm part of the analytics and insights team within the patient experience arm of the business. In my role, I conduct analyses on experiential data and synthesize those results for business leaders as they steer Oak Street Health towards becoming a leader in value-based healthcare. My coursework as part of the QSS major has definitely prepared me to hit the ground running with an analytical thinking process and statistical gaze. The flexibility of the QSS major allowed me to focus on a combination of social science courses surrounding the healthcare system, and it has made me very comfortable with working at the crossroads of analytics and patient experience.

Job Title: Phd Student

I am currently pursuing a PhD in Political Science at the University of Michigan. My research focuses on the intersection of political science and economics. Prior to graduate school, I worked as a Research Assistant at the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC.

Job Title: Md-Phd Student

I am currently an MD-PhD student in the MSTP program at Case Western Reserve University. My PhD work is in the department of epidemiology and biostatistics where my research focuses on the association between increased market penetration of novel healthcare delivery systems and changes in population health. The QSS program (or the artist formerly known as MSS) was instrumental in helping me develop both analytical and critical thinking skills. The encouragement to develop a strong foundation in statistical methods while simultaneously pursuing studies in social science theory and application helped prepare me for my graduate school work and for my career moving forward.

Job Title: Law School

I recently began law school at Boston University School of Law, joining the class of 2026. As a QSS major, I was interested in how quantitative research methods can shed light on systemic issues often looked at through qualitative lenses, something I examined in my honors thesis on perceptions of fairness in jury trials. I plan on pursuing a career in public interest law, and hope to continue using quantitative data to make new legal arguments and promote evidence-driven solutions to injustice in the American justice system.

Job Title: Fundamental Analyst

Starting in August, I will be joining Citadel Securities as a fundamental analyst. I interned with the firm last summer, performing a variety of duties relating to market analysis and trading pitches. I am happy to be returning to the same team. I will have opportunities to apply the quantitative skills from Dartmouth QSS classes to analyze financial markets data and make trading decisions.
