The Research Data Analyst position at UCLA is a full-time role under the direction of the ORDM Manager. The primary responsibilities of this position include coordinating essential documents and critical data elements for processing OCGA, TDG, and CTC&SR proposals and awards in the Proposal and Award Tracking System (PATS). The analyst will assist the Manager with special data clean-up projects and workload balancing among the ORDM staff as needed. Additionally, the role involves assisting Principal Investigators, department administrators, and internal ORA staff in analyzing data to resolve issues and questions. The analyst will lead efforts to ensure consistent, complete, and accurate data entry into the campus financial system and the institutional PATS database. Furthermore, the position requires setting up new Principal Investigator profiles and documenting new Sponsors in PATS. In collaboration with the ORDM Manager, the analyst will provide feedback on business processes to streamline and continuously improve workflow between ORDM and the units it serves, including OCGA, TDG, CTC&SR, and EFM. This is aimed at minimizing delays in completing PATS transactions and optimizing efficiency. The analyst will also serve as a point of contact for staff regarding the interpretation of contract and grant-related policies and procedures, resolving any internal business process questions that may impact the accuracy of records in PATS, PAMS, OASIS, and FS. The Administrative Analyst will report directly to the ORDM Manager and is expected to work independently with minimal supervision, escalating any workflow barriers shared by ORDM staff to the Manager for discussion and resolution. Candidates must include a cover letter and resume to be considered for this position.
