## Description

We have an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Data Science Analyst/Engineer.

As part of the Complement-ARIE program, the NYU-Sage New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) Data Hub and Coordinating Center will create a controlled access platform for researchers to share and analyze data resulting from NAMs approaches. The program will build tools to standardize and harmonize NAMs data, store it securely, and provide researchers with powerful analytical and visualization tools. The successful candidate will support implementation of integrated standards [SG1.1]tailored for NAMs data. This position focuses on analyzing source data structures, developing source-to-target mapping specifications, authoring ETL functional requirements and data quality assurance frameworks, and ensuring that harmonization workflows are well-defined, reproducible, and aligned with FAIR data principles. The role is analytical and specification-oriented: the Data Analyst designs and documents the logic that guides implementation, rather than executing engineering tasks directly., * Analyze source NAMs datasets (such as transcriptomics, proteomics, microscopy, imaging, electrophysiology, etc.) to characterize data structure, content, and quality prior to harmonization

 * Develop detailed source-to-CDM mapping specifications, including transformation rules, value set crosswalks, and handling of edge cases
 * Author functional ETL requirements and data flow documentation to guide pipeline development by engineering staff
 * Design data quality assurance (QA) frameworks and acceptance criteria for NAMs datasets, including completeness, conformance, and plausibility checks
 * Evaluate and document terminology alignment across existing Vocabularies, Metadata requirements, and source ontologies
 * Conduct mapping gap analyses and propose remediation strategies for non-standard or missing terminology coverage
 * Collaborate with the Lead Metadata and Standards Specialist to ensure mapping outputs align with metadata standards
 * Produce and maintain clear analytical documentation: data dictionaries, mapping catalogs, QA specification sheets, and implementation guide
 * Support onboarding of new data contributors by reviewing their data structures and advising on harmonization pathways
 * Participate in data quality review cycles, analyze QA outputs, and document findings and recommended remediation steps
