This is a technical, research-facing position that combines data engineering, statistical analysis, and scientific collaboration.

Responsibilities and daily activities include:

• Maintaining the AAOS data registries - including AJRR, ASR, SER, and FTR - by building and updating data pipelines in Python and SQL (Snowflake) that pull, clean, and organize registry data.
• Troubleshooting data quality and integrity issues across registry-specific ingestion scripts and downstream datasets.
• Preparing analysis-ready datasets for faculty and collaborators, including cohort definition, variable derivation, and quality checks.
• Working with PROMIS data to support research projects through statistical analysis, machine learning, and data visualization to help answer clinical and operational questions.
