Experience with healthcare, higher education, faculty information systems, or other complex enterprise business systems is preferred.

Deep understanding of the ways in which information (i.e. meaningful data) is converted into knowledge (i.e. a justified, true belief) and how they contribute to posing hypotheses, developing theories, and proposing experimental tests of new questions suggested by the theories. Identifies substantive problems where different representations, algorithms and methods can be used to inform practice; developing new representations, algorithms and methods as needed. Expert in the informatics methods used to analyze data and deep knowledge of healthcare data types, topics, approaches, and scientific challenges. Work with subject matter experts and data scientists, software developers, and knowledge engineers to architect translational solutions that derive and represent the knowledge useful to customers. Mastery in architecting newly derived knowledge into workflows. Designs or redesigns software applications to optimize data management, extraction, and analysis as required. Evaluates and optimizes analytical procedures in the framework of specific projects, group of interconnected projects, or a translational research program. Studies, develops, and applies theories, methods, and processes for the generation, storage, retrieval, use, and management of biomedical data, information, and knowledge.
