## Description

NORC at the University of Chicago is seeking a qualified Data Analyst I or II (we are open to hiring at either level) to join the Health Sciences Department to support hospital discharge data processing across states and harmonizing and packaging files into a uniform format. At NORC, Data Analysts are early career team members who train and work with our senior Research Scientists, Statisticians, and Data Scientists to perform tasks such as data processing, quality assurance, analysis, and dissemination.

As part of their data processing responsibilities, Data Analysts import, clean, standardize, transform, and validate data sets. They also research and document data procedures and support the investigation of data problems. They may identify, analyze, and interpret trends or patterns in data sets, and help prepare data presentations and reports, including developing charts, graphs, and tables. In addition, the Data Analyst may assist in data collection and harmonization from primary or secondary data sources (e.g., administrative records, commercial data, social media data), preparing data files for delivery, and the maintenance of databases, data systems, and their relevant metadata/dictionaries. The Data Analyst is expected to work collaboratively in a team environment.
