Job Description

Job Description

The Research Data Analyst II will support a new Health Economics Outcomes Research (HEOR) program focused on using healthcare data to better understand patient outcomes, healthcare utilization, and costs. This person will work across multiple research institutes and partner closely with researchers, clinicians, investigators, data scientists, and biostatisticians. This is a hands-on data analytics role with a heavy focus on SQL and healthcare data. The analyst will help translate research questions and study requirements into technical data requirements, pull and curate datasets from various healthcare data sources, and prepare those datasets for research and advanced analysis. The ideal candidate is someone who is technically strong in SQL but also understands the healthcare environment and can communicate confidently with non-technical and clinical stakeholders. This is not a traditional data engineering or dashboard-heavy BI role. The primary focus will be healthcare data extraction, dataset development, research support, and collaboration with the broader HEOR team.
