Job Description Summary:
This Clinical Informatics Coordinator is in the Medical Informatics division under Internal Medicine.
The Center seeks highly motivated individuals with a passion for informatics, scientific discovery, and improving healthcare to serve as a consultant and coordinator between biomedical informatics and clinical/translational research activities. This role informs researchers regarding the use of informatics resources (Ex: is pathology cancer staging data contained and codified with the clinical data repository; when REDCap might be an appropriate tool). They will conduct analysis and design input/content with informatics technical staff, other CTSA sections, and national translational resources to streamline investigator access to translational and administrative resources. Working with informatics personnel, clinical organizations contributing data, and national resources, they will maintain clinical/translational knowledge bases/resources aligned with standard terminologies/ontologies so as to enhance accessibility and interoperability of our resources with national research objectives.
