Manager of Clinical Research Data Warehousing

University of Chicago•Austin, TX

9d•$120,000 - $170,000

About The Position

The Center for Research Informatics (CRI) is an organization within the Biological Sciences Division (BSD) that provides informatics resources and services to BSD faculty. Five main services comprise the CRI's operations: applications development, bioinformatics, scientific computing, data science and AI, and clinical research data warehousing. Through these service lines, the CRI enables research of the highest scientific merit and advances the state of the art of clinical and translational informatics. The CRI recruits exceptional candidates looking to leverage state-of-the-art technologies to deliver innovative and exciting solutions to biomedical researchers. The Manager of Clinical Research Data Warehousing provides strategic, managerial, and technical design leadership for the institution’s clinical research data warehouse and related analytic assets. Operating within a matrixed academic medical center environment, this role partners closely with senior academic and hospital leadership, faculty investigators, and multidisciplinary technical teams to ensure clinical data are transformed into trusted, interoperable, and AI-ready research assets. This role is intentionally designed as a hybrid management position: the Manager is accountable for strategy, architecture, prioritization, team leadership, and optimization of technical solutions, while generally guiding and overseeing implementation rather than serving as the primary individual contributor. The Manager plays a critical role in enabling faculty-funded research, supporting grant-driven deliverables, and ensuring sustainability within a federal recharge center framework.
