Clinical Data Analyst
Department BSD OBG - Lengyel Lab About the Department The Kenny/Lengyel laboratory is part of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology/ Section of Gynecologic Oncology, studying the biology of ovarian cancer. The laboratory has about 15 members investigating the role of metabolism and methyltransferases in ovarian cancer metastasis. We use a variety of cutting-edge methods, including spatial proteomics, spatial metabolomics, 3D organotypic cultures of human tissue, spatiotemporal characterization of the immune system, and stable-isotype tracing in patients. Bioinformatic support and access to all Core facilities at the University of Chicago are available in the laboratory. Our translational research laboratory is in the Center for Integrated Science, a research building on campus that houses 40 independent research groups. This at-will position is wholly or partially funded by contractual grant funding which is renewed under provisions set by the grantor of the contract. Employment will be contingent upon the continued receipt of these grant funds and satisfactory job performance. Job Summary Under direct supervision, this job performs a broad range of operational activities, which may include collecting, organizing, and analyzing information from the University's various internal data systems as well as from external sources. This job also performs assignments related to data manipulation, statistical applications, programming, analysis and modeling.
