The Neuromuscular Division of Neurology is seeking a Research Data Analyst (RDA), with clinical data management experience to utilize knowledge from research tools to conduct and analyze research data assuring efficiency and regulatory compliance; collect, compile and perform statistical analysis, data reports and management. The division is eager to determine novel approaches towards quantifying movement through wearable and video technology and develop novel methods of analyzing MRI data to better characterize disease health for individuals with neuromuscular disease.

As disease modifying treatments become available in neuromuscular diseases, we are researching novel approaches to better quantify movement and complement current clinical practice working alongside other professionals in radiology, cardiovascular health, and engineering. This position focuses on clinical data management and primarily focuses on supporting the labs clinical data collection systems. One would expect to be using REDCap database design and form creation regularly while also aligning with administrative and research data governance politics.

A successful candidate would serve as the primary data manager for multiple clinical research studies, ensuring data integrity, regulatory compliance, and efficient data flow from collection through analysis. Learning SQL or having experience with Google Cloud would be preferred. Projects involve working with both pediatric and adults with neuromuscular diseases in both a lab and clinical environment. There are opportunities for long-term growth within the team with the ability to gain critical skillsets for a career in biomedical sciences.

These studies will be conducted at the Stanford University Medical Center. Interested candidates should include a CV and Cover Letter addressing how your education and experience relates to the position described above.

• Collect, manage and clean datasets.
• Employ new and existing tools to interpret, analyze, and visualize multivariate relationships in data.
• 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.
• Collaborate with faculty and research staff on data collection and analysis methods.
• Communicate with government officials, grant agencies and industry representatives.
• Design, develop, and maintain REDCap databases.
