Responsibilities

Report to the Principal Investigator and work collaboratively with faculty investigators, research staff, trainees, and data analysts to achieve study objectives.
Plan, design, and oversee data management and statistical analyses for multiple epidemiologic and clinical research studies.
Draw upon expertise in epidemiologic methods, causal inference, survival analysis, and longitudinal data analysis to develop and implement rigorous analytic approaches.
In collaboration with principal investigators, develop multivariable statistical analysis plans using appropriate epidemiologic and statistical methods and independently conduct the planned analyses.
Determine appropriate data sources and integrate information from multiple clinical, research, registry, administrative, and longitudinal datasets using probabilistic matching algorithms with privacy preserving record linkage such as Match*Pro.
Design processes that ensure participant confidentiality and compliance with institutional and regulatory requirements for data security and privacy.
Provide statistical input into study design, data collection instruments, and protocol development to ensure studies collect the data necessary to address scientific hypotheses.
Develop dynamic reports, visualizations, and other reporting tools to communicate study progress and research findings to investigators, collaborators, sponsors, and broader audiences.
Prepare statistical sections of grant proposals, manuscripts, presentations, technical reports, and other scholarly products.
Mentor, train, and provide statistical and methodological guidance to research staff, trainees, and junior analysts, fostering best practices in epidemiologic research and data analysis.
Organize and prioritize analytic activities across multiple concurrent studies and provide leadership in the planning and execution of research data analyses.
Work collaboratively with investigators and study teams to identify innovative analytic approaches that advance research on Parkinson's disease and related neurological disorders.
Design, plan, and execute statistical analyses, particularly of longitudinal data, choosing the most appropriate statistical approach.
Summarize results for presentation, review manuscripts, ensure accuracy of interpretation, and participate in preparing grant applications, manuscripts, and presentations.
Provide input for the planning of long-term research studies, including proposal preparation, identifying appropriate study designs and statistical methods, designing survey instruments, determining sampling procedures and recruitment strategies, and performing statistical power calculations.
Check data quality and develop reports for internal and external validation.
Mentor junior researchers on research analysis, data entry, and database management.
Conduct record linkage of diverse data sets via probabilistic matching.
