Description

All applicants must submit a cover letter and resume as a single document to be considered for this position. The cover letter should address your specific interest in the position and outline your skills and related experience.
Summary

The National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS), a collaboration between Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg School of Public Health and the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research, seeks a qualified candidate to manage researcher access to NHATS restricted data.

Begun in 2011, NHATS is a longitudinal study of more than 8,000 older adults in the U.S. with a focus on disability and care.

Most NHATS data are made available to researchers as public or sensitive files.

However, access to data products that link to contextual, genetics, administrative (including claims and assessment files from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)) and other files that may increase risks related to privacy and confidentiality, are restricted.

NHATS shares its restricted data with approved users through two secure data enclaves:

the Michigan Center on the Demography of Aging (MiCDA) hosts NHATS' restricted data repository (other than CMS files) and the National Institute on Aging's LINKAGE enclave hosts NHATS-CMS linked files.

Both enclaves support remote access through a 2-factor authenticated Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) system. Output from analyses of restricted data are reviewed by NHATS prior to release in order to minimize disclosure risks.

This position requires working directly with NHATS investigators and the research community to ensure appropriate scientific use and privacy/confidentiality safeguards for NHATS restricted data.

This position requires strong communication and technical skills as well as attention to detail.

The ideal candidate will be able to work effectively with the scientific community, be highly organized and dependable, have experience creating and implementing scalable administrative processes (e.g. applications, approval processes), be comfortable reviewing statistical output, have familiarity with human subjects research, and have the ability and willingness to address challenges and seek assistance when needed. Discretion with handling confidential data is required.
