Description
Channing Division of Network Medicine - Chronic Disease & Epidemiology Unit The Business Analyst will be instrumental in the transformation efforts of our research enterprise by developing and guiding strategies for workflow processes in the Nurses' Health Studies, a respected and far-reaching investigation into women's health. The overall objective for this role is to improve the organization and efficiency of our data infrastructure. The NHS research platform has been well served for decades by a homegrown computing setup, however, this legacy system is showing its age, affecting productivity. We are now rebuilding our data systems into platforms of the future. We seek a talented and experienced Business Analyst to 1) document existing workflows for data collection, management, and use; 2) identify new solutions that will improve efficiency, and reduce costs and vulnerabilities; and 3) evaluate potential third-party integration or adaptations to available internal systems. The ideal candidate will excel at self-direction, task management, creative problem-solving, and iterative communication with stakeholders. The Business Analyst must be someone who thrives in a dynamic academic research environment. The Nurses' Health Studies (NHS), renowned for epidemiological research of chronic disease, encompass four primary studies with over 300,000 participants followed for over four decades. The NHS research platform includes extensive questionnaire data covering disease, lifestyle, and nutrition, a biobank with millions of specimens and thousands of associated biomarkers, GIS-based exposure measures, imaging, and a wide range of disease outcomes. NHS researchers are among the world's foremost health researchers from Mass General Brigham, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and other top institutions worldwide. Our data infrastructure team includes experts with decades of experience and dedication to the NHS, working alongside world-class scientists and recent graduates. NHS researchers have published thousands of scientific papers and have helped improve the treatment and prevention of chronic disease. Qualifications
