Job Description:
The Division of Pediatric Cardiology in the Department of Pediatrics seeks a Research Data Analyst for the Priest Lab in the Boswell Building on the School of Medicine Campus. This position will be shared with Dr. Manual Rivas in the Department of Biomedical Data Science. The Priest laboratory employs genomic and genetic methods to study the molecular mechanisms underlie congenital malformations of the heart. For genes and variants identified through genetic studies, we work to identify mechanisms by which causal variation is responsible for altered gene structure or function, and employ tissue culture and genetic mouse models to identify how encoded factors participate in the disease process. The Research Data Analyst will work under the general guidance of Dr. Priest and Dr. Rivas, primarily supporting ongoing sequencing studies to accomplish the goals of the lab. This work will require the maintenance of local, shared, and cloud computation resources along with deployment of standard workflows in bioinformatics analysis such as analyses of whole genome, exome, and RNA-sequencing daga. S/he will be expected to collect, analyze, and present research data to the research group. The Research Data Analyst may be expected to troubleshoot existing protocols and develop novel protocols and procedures and provide technical and scientific advice to other research personnel in lab. The position will also entail some lab support tasks such as systems administration, maintaining records, and adhering to regulations. Duties include: • Collect, manage and clean datasets. • Employ new and existing tools to interpret, analyze, and visualize multivariate relationships in data. • Create databases and reports, develop algorithms and statistical models, and perform statistical analyses appropriate to data and reporting requirements. • Use system reports and analyses to identify potentially problematic data, make corrections, and determine root cause for data problems from input errors or inadequate field edits, and suggest possible solutions. • Develop reports, charts, graphs and tables for use by investigators and for publication and presentation. • Analyze data processes in documentation. • Collaborate with faculty and research staff on data collection and analysis methods. • Provide documentation based on audit and reporting criteria to investigators and research staff. • Communicate with government officials, grant agencies and industry representatives. * - Other duties may also be assigned
