Data Analyst, CDC

Category : Post-Grad Student Opportunities

Description 

The Global Immunization Division (GID) protects the health of Americans and global citizens by preventing disease, disability, and death worldwide from vaccine preventable diseases.  The Immunization Systems Branch (ISB) supports demand generation projects in primarily low- and middle –income countries around the world.  The second strategic objective of the Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP) is to reach and maintain a level of strong, self-sustaining demand for routine vaccination services where parents not only access these services but demand them as a right. 

The Vaccine Introduction (VI) team has become involved in outbreak response vaccination for several epidemic-prone diseases with increasing frequency. In the past two years, the VI team responses have included: yellow fever in Angola and DRC (2016); Ebola in DRC (2017-2020) with preparedness activities for Ebola vaccine use in Uganda, Rwanda, and South Sudan (2018-2020); cholera vaccination among the Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh (2017, 2018); typhoid in Zimbabwe (2018); cholera in Zimbabwe (2018); and extremely drug-resistant (XDR) typhoid in Pakistan (2018).  The vaccine response to each outbreak has been different and varied.  For yellow fever in DRC, we evaluated the immunogenicity of the use of fractional dose vaccine for outbreak response during a global shortage of yellow fever vaccine.  We are also leading a study in Uganda looking at the immunogenicity of fractional one fifth- and one-half doses of yellow fever vaccine compared to full dose in children 9-23 month. GID has taken a substantial role working alongside the Ebola subject matter experts (NCEZID) in the pre-licensure use of Ebola vaccine for outbreak response. Currently we have new introduction work involving post-exposure prophylaxis for rabies vaccine, influenza vaccine among health care workers in low-middle income countries, and technical assistance for the introduction in low and low-middle income countries of the much anticipated Covid-19 vaccine. 

 

Potential Projects and Activities

  • Data management and analysis of a pediatric randomized clinical trial of fractional dose yellow fever vaccine in Uganda
  • Data management and analysis of an Ebola vaccine hesitancy survey in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (qualitative and quantitative components)
  • Collaboration on implementation of special projects, such as the identification of barriers to Ebola or Covid-19 vaccine acceptance, and development of communication strategies to promote vaccine uptake and disease reduction
  • Provide support to countries to introduce and strengthen COVID-19 vaccine introductions globally
  • Support the strengthening of the implementation of national immunization policies and programs
  • Provide training and support to improve data management and analysis skills or analysts and program managers in other countries
  • Assist with development of new COVID-19 vaccine project protocols
  • Assist in instrument design, data collection and implementation of new COVID-19 vaccine projects
  • Developing data dashboards, presentations, and other technical resources for COVID-19 vaccine.
  • Conduct literature searches using PubMed and other search engines
  • Preparation of articles for publication in international professional journals and for presentation at international conferences

 

Required Experience and Skills

  • A minimum of a master’s degree or higher in biostatistics or epidemiology
  • Strong data management skills
  • Previous experience analyzing large datasets
  • Intermediate or advanced experience using statistical software (e.g., SAS, SUDAAN, R, GIS) and experience performing linear regression, logistic regression, ANOVA and other complex analyses
  • Ability to with individually and with a team

 

Preferred Experience

  • Experience with clinical trial data
  • Experience with qualitative analyses
  • Additional language skills

Pre-doctoral Training Program in Population Neuroscience of Aging & Alzheimer’s Disease, University of Pittsburgh

Category : Post-Grad Student Opportunities

Description 

The University of Pittsburgh offers a pre-doctoral training program in Population Neuroscience of Aging & Alzheimer’s Disease. The PNA Program trains highly talented graduate students to pursue successful independent research in the etiology of Alzheimer’s Disease and other age-related dementia (ADRD). The Program offers 3 positions, each one for up to 4 years.

 

Vision

To understand the causes and mechanisms of ADRD, population neuroscientists of the future must be able to link environmental exposures, lifestyles, co-morbidities, and genomics with knowledge of modern technology of neurosciences and measurements of brain disease and data science. Our PNA curriculum addresses this need by providing:

  • foundational knowledge in population science and neuroscience of aging;
  • availability of multi-center and international databases;
  • enhanced training in cutting-edge multimodal methodologies to measure brain changes with age, including neuropsychological assessment, neuroimaging, and post-mortem assessments;
  • hands-on experiences on recruitment and data collection, including internet-based study designs;
  • opportunity to network with high-caliber scientists locally, nationally and internationally;
  • training in the responsible conduct of research.

 

Curriculum 

The Population Neuroscience of Aging curriculum offers targeted coursework and selected research rotations, tailored to each individual’s background and research objectives.

Coursework 

PNA trainees must demonstrate a strong commitment to expand their knowledge of study design and population neuroscience of aging. Required coursework includes: Population Neuroscience (fall, 1CR) and Neuroepidemiology (spring, 2CR). Additional coursework in neuroscience, epidemiology, and data science will be matched to the students’ background and research interests, in consultation with the academic advisor. Examples include: multimodal neuroimaging (summer, 2 CR); Biology of aging (summer, 1 CR); Neurobiology of aging (fall, 2CR). Upon completion of the coursework, trainees will have identified the dissertation topic and will have completed the first draft of the dissertation document.

Research Rotations 

Research rotations guide trainees to apply the concepts learnt in in class with the goal to conduct original neuroepidemiological research. Each trainee is required to participate in three rotations: Data collection, Data Analysis, and Clinical Research rotation. Each rotation is overseen by the primary mentor and/or a member of the mentoring team with expertise in that specific area. Through these rotations, trainees will: a) learn practical aspects of conducting research, including how to work within a multidisciplinary team; b) complete at least one original scientific manuscript for submission to a peer-reviewed journal; and c) complete the first draft of a new grant research proposal reflecting the trainee’s independent thinking.

 

Eligibility Criteria 

  • US citizen or US Permanent Resident;
