Job Summary

Ariadne Labs is a joint center for health systems innovation at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health. Our goal is to drive scalable solutions for better care at critical moments in people’s lives everywhere. Better care means better health outcomes, lower costs, and more actual caring. Critical means solving health systems failures that have major impact, typically touching people by the millions.
The Science and Technology Platform provides subject matter expertise in three scientific disciplines: Computer science, data science, and implementation and improvement science. The Platform collaborates with teams across the Lab to deliver technology solutions and ensure projects meet high standards for scientific rigor. Under the supervision of the platform manager, the data analyst will be responsible for leading a range of data-intensive activities across the Lab, including for a large, multi-site clinical research study. This includes developing and maintaining secure data systems, applying advanced programming skills to manage and clean complex datasets, and conducting analyses in collaboration with research teams.
Ideal candidates will have strong experience working with quantitative data and an interest in applying their skill set to help solve health systems problems. This is an excellent opportunity to apply and strengthen skills in data analysis, data engineering, quantitative methods, and health systems research with flexibility to grow as a technologist, data scientist, researcher, and designer. We are looking for individuals who embrace complex challenges and bring creativity and energy to solving them.
