Job Summary
The Dept. of Radiation Oncology is seeking a technically capable Data Analyst II to serve as the operational backbone of the laboratory. The Data Analyst's central mission is to bring order and rigor to the lab's growing data holdings: cataloging datasets, understanding and documenting data pipelines, and maintaining clear, dependable documentation so that fellows and trainees can find, trust, and correctly use every dataset — in full compliance with MGB and Harvard human-subjects and data-governance requirements.
This is a hands-on role for someone comfortable with data and light scripting — not a purely administrative position. The ideal candidate combines technical fluency (file systems, data formats, basic scripting, version control) with strong organizational discipline and attention to regulatory detail. GPU responsibilities are scoped to coordination and monitoring rather than deep systems administration.
Data Governance, Cataloging & Documentation (primary focus)
- Build and maintain a living catalog/inventory of all clinical and multimodal imaging datasets, recording source, modality, size, provenance, associated IRB protocol and data use agreement, PHI/de-identification status, and version.
- Define and enforce consistent naming conventions, folder structures, and metadata standards across the lab's storage.
- Author and maintain data dictionaries, pipeline documentation, and onboarding guides so datasets are discoverable and correctly used.
- Serve as the single point of truth for “what data we have and under what terms it can be used.”
Data Pipeline Stewardship
- Understand, document, and help maintain data ingestion, de-identification, and preprocessing pipelines.
- Run and monitor de-identification workflows; validate data integrity and completeness.
- Manage dataset access permissions, versioning, and reliable backups.
Regulatory & Compliance Administration
- Prepare and track submissions to the Mass General Brigham IRB, including amendments, continuing reviews, and renewals.
- Manage data use agreements (
