Data Analyst I at CAMRIS in San Diego, California

Job Description:

Overview


We are seeking a Data Analyst I to support the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC), Operational Infectious Diseases (OID) Directorate. The role involves collecting, managing, analyzing, and reporting data related to infectious disease surveillance and research. This position contributes to the OID's mission of improving military force health protection by monitoring, understanding, and mitigating the impacts of infectious diseases on U.S. service members.


The OID Directorate conducts ongoing, laboratory-based surveillance of US military populations in unique environments to quantify and study the etiology of infectious illnesses. Test specimens are collected from ongoing surveillance programs and from special investigations of febrile illnesses and pneumonia among military personnel or civilians (recruits, forces afloat, deployed forces, outbreaks of concern, and border populations). In addition to the utilization of portable, rapid assay technologies to identify pathogens in the field, test specimens and limited epidemiologic data, when approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB), are provided to the NHRC laboratory where diagnostics and, in some instances, in-depth pathogen characterization is conducted. Results are provided to sponsors, the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center, local investigators and collaborators, and, when applicable, county health units to guide proper responses that ultimately affect both the readiness of US forces and the safety of public health.
