Data Base Manager (Seattle, WA)

Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, home of three Nobel laureates, is an independent, nonprofit research institution dedicated to the development and advancement of biomedical research to eliminate cancer and other potentially fatal diseases.

Responsibilities

The incumbent is a detail-minded individual who will manage and deploy a growing database of clinical research data -- using heterogeneous data-management systems -- and administer the computers on which they reside. The primary data-management systems include PostgreSQL and CDSI DataFax in a Unix (Solaris and Linux) environment, and they house clinical data from multiple protocols with multiple research networks. The data-management systems need to provide regular, reliable access to both staff from multiple groups and outside collaborators.

The incumbent will administer and develop a PostgreSQL relational database for the curation and analysis of clinical research data, and administer SCHARP's DataFax clinical data management system. Some light Unix system administration (Solaris and Linux) and authoring of database tools is also expected.

Major Duties

• Installation, administration, and data-management of a PostgreSQL database. This includes data modeling and database/table creation, troubleshooting, testing, validation, system administration and software updates.

• Technical administration of the CDSI DataFax clinical data management system, including troubleshooting, testing, validation, system administration, software patches/upgrades, and user support.

• Extend SCHARP's nascent PostgreSQL installation across multiple functional groups, to be used as a repository of clinical and lab data for multiple research protocols. This includes testing and validation of data-management processes and managing multiple users with varying access requirements.

• Act as a central point of contact for data-management issues and liaison with different departments as part of the PostgreSQL rollout, to determine needs and reconcile incompatible requests.

• When necessary, Unix system/network administration at the infrastructure level, and developing data-management tools, both within PostgreSQL and in Perl and/or Java.

Qualifications

At least one of the following is required, although both are desired:

• Two years of experience working with and administering a Unix-based relational database, preferably PostgreSQL;

OR:

• Two years of experience administering CDSI DataFax software.


All of the following qualifications are required:

• Experience with data-modeling and the use of relational databases in a cross-enterprise environment.
• Three years of hands-on experience with Unix, including building applications from source, preferably in Solaris and Linux.
• Functional experience with database programming, preferably in Perl and/or Java.
• Excellent communication skills.

Desirable Qualifications :

• Data management in a clinical environment.
• Programming experience with Perl and/or Java.
• Experience with SAS.
• Testing and validation of data-management systems.
• Experience with clinical regulatory compliance (e.g., HIPAA, 21 CFR part 11,
