The UF Health - Precision Health Research Center (PHRC) located in The Villages, FL, hosted within the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) seeks an enthusiastic and qualified individual to fill the Data Scientist IV position. This position will work with the PHRC Director as part of the leadership team to develop, implement, and coordinate data management in translational and implementation science research projects aimed at improving health care quality, outcomes and well-being for older adults.

The Data Scientist IV at the PHRC will be responsible for selecting and applying appropriate analytical methods to answer questions and test hypotheses as specified by clinical researchers, administrators and clinicians. This position will require expertise in both database design and complex statistical methods and algorithms. Expected projects will include design of research and operational databases and statistical analyses, and development of reporting infrastructures.

Providing leadership to domain experts on issues related to principles of data science and analytical methods. Prioritizing and coordinating multiple tasks so as to achieve tight deadlines (as determined by commitments to funding agencies), and complying in a timely manner with administrative requests and requirements.

This position will utilize data science and statistical software such as Python, R, and SAS, to analyze and interpret research data. This position will also use other database/analytical software platforms (e.g., MSSQL) to develop queries and manipulate data for deployment to real-time systems used in data activities. Expertise will be necessary to design and develop scripts to transform data from multiple data sources into primary data collection centers and make the data analytical-ready.

Additional expertise in software such as Red Cap and databases will be important for success. Knowledge and expertise will be needed in integrating, filtering and extracting multivariate and multimodal clinical databases for patient cohorts of interest from local databases and data warehouses.

This position will be responsible for formulating procedures for effective administration of research projects and protection of health information in accordance with University policy, and all applicable state and federal laws. This position will also be responsible for ensuring quality, consistency and validity of large multimodal datasets.

This position will assist in the interpretation of data and compile reports of analyses to inform data system planning. This position will also be responsible for maintaining data infrastructure capable of supporting analyses of clinical research data. This position will also be responsible for summarizing and visualizing results for addition to specific publications.
