Job Description:
Would you like to take what you’ve learned and make a real difference in people’s lives? Would you like to be on a team that supports breakthroughs in health and technology – precision medicine, pharmacogenomics, big data? Would you like an opportunity to work with government, academia, and industry partners analyzing topics like effectiveness of molecular diagnostic testing and prediction of adverse events? As a bonus – do you enjoy the outdoors or skiing the greatest snow on earth? If so, come join us! We are a team of dedicated professionals using advanced analytics and informatics tools to perform health services and outcomes research. Our team is at the intersection of many complimenting disciplines – including informatics, epidemiology, data science, and biostatistics. Our partners bring together diverse opinions, theories, and expectations that provoke innovative approaches to problems. The Division of Epidemiology within the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Utah seeks a highly motivated, independent Bioinformatics Data Analyst to join our dynamic, fast-paced collaborative research team. The individual will join an established, progressive team of innovators conducting research within the University of Utah and for the Department of Veterans Affairs, which has one of the largest electronic medical record databases in the world. A successful candidate will collaborate and conduct health outcomes and health service research using electronic medical records. She or he will evaluate the relationship between medical conditions and their causes and medical interventions and their outcomes through data analysis. The selected candidate will collaborate within a research team completing all aspects of a project through study design, regulatory approvals, project management, statistical analysis, as well as interpretation and dissemination of results. The research team combines the best of traditional epidemiologic methods along with advanced analytics and informatics methods in creative, cross-disciplinary activities. We subscribe to the philosophy of open data science and look to build upon the work of others and make our work as transparent and community-driven as possible.
