The world-class facilities at Children's Hospital are a testament to our community's dedication to the health of children. Constructed in 2004 and expanded in 2012, our 271-bed hospital is a child-friendly place built on the science of healing.
A building alone does not make a great hospital. Our exceptional medical teams and the generous support of people like you enable us to provide every child who comes to us with the hope of improved health. Children's Hospital is a nonprofit facility. No child who needs our services is denied care on the basis of limited ability to pay.
Many of our doctors and surgeons are nationally recognized researchers who are finding new ways to cure and prevent childhood diseases. Their work preventing and treating premature birth, cancer, heart disease, spina bifida, and many other conditions is an investment in the future. We are at an important crossroads in child health. Our commitment to research and advocacy positions us to bring the promise of good health to children and families in our community and to share that hope with the world.
Your Role :
This is a highly data-centric Research Analyst III role with the potential for growth into a higher-level data position. The accuracy and validity of our data are of the utmost importance for multiple projects. Data are continually cleaned and checked through multiple detailed procedures which must be followed to the letter. Therefore, it is absolutely critical for the candidate to have extraordinary attention to detail and be able to quickly learn and follow complicated, nuanced directions.
Our data are typically imported, exported, and compiled from many different sources, and experience with the following programs is highly desirable: Access, Excel, REDCap, and Stata. This position will require building of REDCap databases. We also use several specialized, web-based data portals, and the candidate should have the demonstrated ability and drive to quickly learn new software. While it is not a requirement to be an expert on all of the above applications, being familiar with as many as possible will minimize the transition or training duration and is a big plus.
The candidate should know how to perform tasks like correctly removing duplicate or extraneous records and combining datasets by merging records based on a unique ID (e.g., through Excel's VLOOKUP or Stata's merge function).
The ideal candidate will have demonstrated experience working with different types of longitudinal data in both "long" and "wide" formats.
The candidate must be able to work both independently and as part of a team to troubleshoot problems and come up with solutions. The candidate should be comfortable making and delivering reports to groups of people (e.g., using PowerPoint), as well as explaining complex issues to people who may have less familiarity with data-related topics.
