Research Data Analyst I

Generic Scope Entry-level professional with limited prior experience; learns to use professional concepts to resolve problems of limited scope and complexity; works on assignments that are initially routine in nature, requiring limited judgment and decision making. Employees at this level are expected to acquire the skills and knowledge to perform more advanced work following an agreed upon time in position, through defined training and development planning. Custom Scope Under direct supervision, acquires skills and knowledge of professional concepts in research data management and analysis. Works on small projects or segments of projects with limited scope and complexity. Follows standard programming procedures to analyze situations and data from which answers can be readily obtained. Department Overview The Quandt lab at the UCSF Diabetes Center is seeking to hire a highly motivated Research Data Analyst to join a team of clinical and research collaborators studying mechanisms of immune tolerance in patients with autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes and endocrine side effects of cancer immunotherapy and mouse models of autoimmunity in collaboration with the Anderson Lab. The Research Data Analyst will aid in the lab's data management, computational methods and provide essential bionformatics support in the analysis of various experimental data pipelines, including genetic risk scores, PhIP-Seq, single-cell RNA-seq, and ATAC-seq. Gather and organize various types of research data. Analyze research datasets according to the pipelines established in the labs. Prepare figures and tables summarizing results in support of research proposals, protocols, and reports. Contribute to scientific manuscripts, publications, and presentations. Maintain research data collection, retrieval, and reporting systems.
