Your expertise as a data engineer will be used to support the research of ENDIA (http://www.endia.org.au/ ) a study which is investigating the environmental determinants of type 1 diabetes (T1D). If we can understand what causes T1D then we can modify these factors to prevent it.

They will explore how the integration of research outcomes within ENDIA, and potentially external to ENDIA (for example with other registries such as the Australian Diabetes Data Network registry) can be achieved. The data engineer will ensure adherence to international standards for privacy and protection of human subjects and democratizing access to data via a hierarchy of controls. They will consider factors ranging from participant rights through to cost-effectiveness using resources such as the FAIR data principles.
