The University of Utah's Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute is seeking a demographic data analyst. This individual will play a critical role in the daily operations and future growth of this area.
This position will primarily provide technical support for Utah's subcounty (city and small area) annual population estimates program. This includes gathering demographic, housing, and construction data from internal and external resources, incorporating knowledge of local context and conditions, geocoding and analysis with GIS software, implementing existing demographic models with programming scripts, and assisting with a local review process. The successful candidate will be able to research and troubleshoot when data, assumptions, or models require adjusting.
Additionally, the demographic analyst will work with other team members to create original content that summarizes demographic findings with written reports, data visualizations, and other duties as assigned. They will accurately communicate verbally and in writing to technical and non-technical audiences.
The Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute subscribes to five committable core values. We call them committable values because we make serious personnel and project decisions based on these values. We call them core because we integrate them into everything we do. They are internal values, but are reflected externally in the products and services we provide to the community. Taken together, our committable core values define who we are, how we conduct ourselves, and what comprises our work culture.
