In collaboration with investigators and biostatisticians, the analyst will conduct statistical analyses using established methods, interpret findings, prepare tables, figures, and reports, and contribute to abstracts, manuscripts, and scientific presentations. The analyst will manage competing priorities across projects and communicate effectively with multidisciplinary collaborators while ensuring compliance with applicable research protocols and data privacy and security requirements.

The RDA 3 will support several projects, however the primary project will be Rapid Research in Diagnostics Development for TB Network (R2D2 TB Network): This NIH-funded project has established a platform to identify promising early-stage TB diagnostics and conduct field evaluations to assess their accuracy, usability, acceptability, and cost-effectiveness. The project includes research sites in Uganda, Zambia, Vietnam, India, and the Philippines.

Depending on experience and project needs, the position may also contribute to human factors research, Bayesian analyses, and health economic studies.

The UCSF Center for Tuberculosis (CTB) unites a multidisciplinary community of TB experts working to accelerate global TB elimination and train the next generation of TB scientists. Since launching in 2019, CTB has grown to include more than 50 faculty investigators across UCSF and UC Berkeley, spanning immunology, data science, epidemiology, pharmacology, diagnostics, therapeutics, biostatistics, implementation science, and policy. As the operational hub of the NIH P30-funded UC Tuberculosis Research Advancement Center, CTB serves as the scientific home for the TB research enterprise at UCSF and beyond.

Through cooperative scholarship, technical training, mentorship, clinical excellence, advocacy, and a collaborative spirit, CTB-affiliated faculty, fellows, and staff are advancing global health and improving the lives of TB-affected communities through transformative research and practice.

The Institute for Global Health Sciences (IGHS) is a UCSF campus wide interdisciplinary program that reports to the Chancellor. IGHS is structured as an Organized Research Unit (ORU) and control point that oversees a portfolio of $330M in sponsored programs (including $80-90M per year in grants and cooperative agreements expenses), two graduate groups that confer Masters and PhD degrees, and an administrative unit that provides communication, financial management, event planning, staffing support, operations, and program development support to faculty members working in global health across the campus.

IGHS's mission is to advance health and reduce health disparities worldwide, with a focus on vulnerable populations. IGHS is continuing to expand its programmatic activities into new regions (Latin America and Asia) and new themes (e.g., transdisciplinary research in infectious disease, maternal and child health, and non-communicable diseases, pandemic preparedness, digital health, climate change, and migrant health). It also is working to develop new educational program offerings (degree and certificate) and partnerships with academic institutions in the US and in low- and middle-income (LMIC) countries.

It also has engagements domestically with public health programs, including the California Department of Public Health.

IGHS is committed to ensuring a diverse, equitable and inclusive work environment as we work towards becoming an anti-racist organization. We strongly encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds. Please see our statement on anti-racism here: (Use the "Apply for this Job" box below).-racism
