KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead research informatics and database-management activities, including integrating REDCap outputs with reproducible R workflows to streamline data quality review, reporting, analysis, and visualization.

• Independently analyze Moffitt clinical, epidemiologic, and molecular datasets; interpret results; and translate findings into figures, tables, presentations, and peer-reviewed manuscripts.

• Provide scientific and operational oversight for multiple R01-funded projects, including milestone and performance tracking, progress reporting, independent problem-solving and decision-making, and coordination of team members.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

• Has strong applied research experience in epidemiology, biostatistics or data science; subject area expertise is not required, but experience with infections and cancer research or global work is desirable.

• Demonstrates advanced proficiency in R and experience with management of complex clinical or molecular datasets; knowledge of REDCap or other database software is strongly preferred.

• Has experience leading statistical analyses and manuscript development and exercising sound independent judgment while working effectively in a multidisciplinary team.
