Job Duties The research team this position will be a part of focuses on interdisciplinary translational biomedical research to understand complex diseases better; our work is at the intersection of multiple datatypes including genomic, clinical, health, survey, and others, and involves coordination with multiple stakeholders types including, but not limited to, social and biological sciences, clinicians, and genetics. The Senior Research Associate ( SRA ) will oversee all statistical analyses within the team, providing oversight and guidance to team members on data management and organization and lab management in the absence of the principal investigator (PI). The SRA will design and plan analyses, oversee collaborations, supervise staff and trainees, manage the multiple data types, and fully execute research projects better to understand primary open-angle glaucoma and other complex diseases. The SRA will utilize statistical and bioinformatic techniques to perform data science responsibilities (including, but not limited to, management and leading internal and multi-site statistical analyses). The SRA will inform the PI of the progress of research projects and provide recommendations on experimental design and project plans. The SRA will also present data and findings at lab and scientific meetings, seminars, etc., prepare manuscripts, and contribute preliminary data for grant proposals. Expected objectives and responsibilities include: (i) lead statistical analyses of genetic data, including data within the high-performance compute cluster ( HPCC ) and on a virtual machine(s) as needed (e.g., for Veterans Affairs projects) and the coordination, oversight, and performance of internal and external (including for national and international consortia) analyses, providing thorough reports of justification for and results of analyses, (ii) data management (genetic, clinical, health, survey) via secure and thorough data storage, (iii) provide preliminary data for grants, and (iv) provide methods and results sections as needed for manuscript writing, and attend meetings as necessary both of the team and collaborators. Team meetings in-person or via teleconference in addition to co-authoring abstracts and manuscripts. The SRA will design and plan projects, oversee collaborations, supervise staff and students, manage genetic and health data, and fully execute research projects to ensure thorough and accurate statistical analyses. Data Management - 25% Oversee all statistical projects conducted by the team, including data (genetic, clinical, health, survey, etc.) collection, quality control, input, design, and maintenance of databases. Independently and with the PI, design, plan, and execute statistical projects to discern contributors (genetic, environmental, and other biological) to primary open-angle glaucoma and other complex diseases. Perform informed, up-to-date analysis of genetic and health data. Provide interpretation of various statistical outputs, develop predictions, and implement recommendations for study design. Develop and use bioinformatic and computational tools to analyze complex genomic datasets. Establish and manage the day-to-day analytical priorities of the research team.
