About The Position

Mass General Brigham relies on a wide range of professionals, including doctors, nurses, business people, tech experts, researchers, and systems analysts to advance our mission. As a not-for-profit, we support patient care, research, teaching, and community service, striving to provide exceptional care. We believe that high-performing teams drive groundbreaking medical discoveries and invite all applicants to join us and experience what it means to be part of Mass General Brigham. Job Summary Ariadne Labs is a joint center for health systems innovation at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health. Our goal is to drive scalable solutions for better care at critical moments in people’s lives everywhere. Better care means better health outcomes, lower costs, and more actual caring. Critical means solving health systems failures that have major impact, typically touching people by the millions. The Science and Technology Platform provides subject matter expertise in three scientific disciplines: Computer science, data science, and implementation and improvement science. The Platform collaborates with teams across the Lab to deliver technology solutions and ensure projects meet high standards for scientific rigor. Under the supervision of the platform manager, the data analyst will lead data analysis and coordination activities for a multi-state public health research project evaluating the integration of genomic sequencing into newborn screening programs, as well as contribute to other ongoing Lab projects. This includes developing and maintaining REDCap data systems, coordinating with study partners, applying advanced programming skills to manage and clean complex datasets, and conducting analyses in collaboration with research teams. Ideal candidates will have strong experience working with quantitative data and an interest in applying their skill set to help solve health systems problems, particularly around the integration and use of genomics in healthcare. This is an excellent opportunity to apply and strengthen skills in data analysis, quantitative methods, and health systems research with flexibility to grow as a technologist, data scientist, researcher, and designer. We are looking for individuals who embrace complex challenges and bring creativity and energy to solving them.
