Since 1965, the University of California, Irvine has combined the strengths of a major research university with the bounty of an incomparable Southern California location. As a U.S. News & World Report top 10 public university, UCI’s unyielding commitment to rigorous academics, cutting-edge research, and leadership and character development makes the campus a driving force for innovation and discovery that serves our local, national and global communities in many ways.

With more than 37,000 students, 1,497 faculty members and 11,622 staff, UCI is among the most dynamic campuses in the University of California system. Increasingly a first-choice campus for students, UCI ranks among the top U.S. universities in the number of undergraduate applications and continues to admit freshmen with highly competitive academic profiles. UCI is also ranked No. 2 by U.S. News & World Report for social mobility, which takes into account the graduation rate of students awarded Pell Grants. Orange County’s second-largest employer, UCI generates an annual economic impact on the county of $7 billion. http://www.uci.edu/

All of Us is a research program from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It is seeking one million or more people from across the U.S. By doing so, it hopes to one day help speed up medical research. People who join will share information about their health, habits, and what it’s like where they live. By looking for patterns, researchers may learn more about what affects people’s health. The All of Us Research Program is building one of the largest biomedical data resources of its kind. The All of Us Research Hub stores health data from a diverse group of participants from across the United States.

Responsibilities will include study design, managing, cleaning, and analyzing a large number of data sets in varying formats, size, and origin, such as genomics data, data from electronic health records, user-generated data from health apps (including structured data such as usage logs and unstructured data such as online chatting transcripts), and datasets collected by the All of Us Research Program at UCI. The incumbent will be expected to interact with statisticians, data managers, and epidemiologists as well as other UCI team members, including faculty and staff researchers from several departments, and with the All of Us personnel, including programmers, program administrators, and others. The incumbent will be expected to work independently as well as under supervision, to provide support to data needs of all project teams as well as prepare analytical files, conduct statistical analyses, and prepare data and findings. The incumbent will prepare presentations as well as reports based on the data analyzed. The incumbent will also be expected to confer with data and IT personnel from other All of Us sites. Incumbent will also be expected to train staff members on the use of RedCap and other systems/platforms.
