This will include working with existing MGB analysts to complete set up of EHR data pipelines and databases using Clarity and MGB’s cloud-computing environment, Snowflake; collaborating with clinical experts on data mapping and cleaning; performing in-depth data quality assurance including the production of visualizations and reports; and providing requested data to PCCM Division leadership as needed.
In addition, the Data Scientist will support Dr. Shappell’s health services research on critical illness including sepsis, shock, severe viral infections, and respiratory failure; they will also support the full integration of the MGB data repository into an established critical care research consortium via application of a novel common data model. This work will involve completing and ensuring compliance with latest version of common data model, developing and coding new research projects that utilize consortium data, running code locally from other consortium PI-led projects, and attending weekly consortium meetings. There is opportunity for expansion into work with other EHR data modalities, including unstructured data from clinical notes, waveform data, and/or imaging data, if desired.
Summary
Responsible for analyzing data, uncovering the underlying data patterns and logic, and developing data-driven applications. They will work towards developing solutions for the entire problem-solving cycle: find/prioritize the problems, research the best algorithms to solve the problems, design robust, practical solvers, and implement them.
