The Population Studies and Training Center (PSTC) at Brown University is seeking a Lead Data Analyst to collaborate with Professor Elizabeth Fussell on various projects focused on analyzing data related to the health and mobility outcomes of populations affected by disasters. This role involves significant participation in data management and statistical analysis, as well as assisting with grant proposals and manuscript production for publication in peer-reviewed journals. The Lead Data Analyst will also be responsible for presenting findings at scientific conferences, with the potential for co-authorship on publications stemming from the research projects with Professor Fussell and other co-investigators. This part-time position requires a commitment of 21 hours per week and is entirely funded by grants, with a fixed term lasting until September 30, 2025. There is a possibility of renewal based on satisfactory performance and the availability of funding. The successful candidate will be expected to work both independently and collaboratively, demonstrating effective communication skills with interdisciplinary audiences that may have varying technical backgrounds. The role also demands efficient time management skills and the ability to juggle multiple projects simultaneously. The Lead Data Analyst will be expected to have a strong background in statistical software, particularly Stata, with additional experience in SAS or R being preferred. Knowledge in the design and construction of databases using SAS, as well as experience in analyzing and managing large, complex datasets, is essential. The position is hybrid eligible, requiring two days a week onsite at the Federal Statistical Research Data Centers (FSRDC), with a preference for the Boston RDC, although other FSRDC locations may be considered.
