We are seeking a full-time Data Analyst to become an integral part of our team. We offer a positive environment with dedicated colleagues in the Department of Neurology at UCSF. The Research Data Analyst will support epidemiologic studies, which aim to collect data from people with Parkinson's disease (PD), care-partners, people at risk of developing PD, and other research volunteers for the ultimate goal of informing therapeutic studies and ending Parkinson's disease.

This candidate will be integral in designing and implementing data collection instruments, developing data quality control measures to identify and resolve data discrepancies, combining and processing datasets from multiple platforms, provide summary reports, charts, tables, and other visual aids that are continuously updated as new data are entered, and managing data flows for large, mainly web-based epidemiologic studies. These studies involve large, collaborative databases.

The Research Data Analyst will have the following additional responsibilities: 1) develop data dictionaries; 2) conduct primary statistical analyses, including multivariate and longitudinal data analyses; 3) play an integral role in design of new research studies and databases, and 4) to provide oversight, training and support in statistical and data-related principles to other employees.

Secondary responsibilities would include interpreting and writing up results for publication, assisting with progress reports; and engaging in grant-writing process including preparation of preliminary analyses.

We are seeking a candidate who enjoys mixing web-based technology with medicine and liaising with multiple study collaborators. The Research Data Analyst should show a strong interest in clinical research and a desire to contribute to the state of knowledge on the risk factors for Parkinson's disease. The Research Data Analyst must be able to multi-task, problem-solve, and apply creative solutions to new and unexpected situations with limited supervision.
