UW Medicine's IT Services department has an outstanding opportunity for an REDCap Administrator 1!

***This is a benefits eligible, Professional Staff Temporary Position (PSTP) expected to last 12 months.***

UW Medicine's Information Technology Services (ITS) department is a shared services organization that supports all of UW Medicine. UW Medicine is comprised of Harborview Medical Center (HMC), UW Medical Center-Montlake (UWMC-Montlake), UW Medical Center-Northwest (UWMC-NW), Valley Medical Center (VMC), UW Neighborhood Clinics (UWNC), UW Physicians (UWP), UW School of Medicine (SOM) and Airlift Northwest (ALNW). In addition, UW Medicine shares in the ownership and governance of Children's University Medical Group and Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (a partnership between UW Medicine, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research and Seattle Children's). ITS is responsible for the ongoing support and maintenance of the infrastructure and applications which support all of these institutions, along with the implementation of new services and applications that are used to support and further the UW Medicine mission.

In collaboration with UW Medicine IT Services ('ITS') and under the general guidance of the Bio-Medical Informatics Services Manager, the primary focus of the REDCap Administrator 1 position is supporting a team of Administrators that maintain the Institute of Translational Health Sciences (ITHS) Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) installation and its users. ITHS is funded by a Clinical Translational Science Award given to us by the National Institute of Health. It is a collaboration between the University of Washington, Seattle Children's Hospital, and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. ITHS' core mission is to accelerate research.

REDCap is a secure web application for building and managing online surveys and databases. While REDCap can be used to collect virtually any type of data, it is specifically geared to support online or offline data capture for research studies and operations. Issues can come from a wide array of different disciplines and range from simple "how to" requests to complex problems like database design, compliance issues, coding errors or survey design. The Administrator will be seen as the "face" of the REDCap installation.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Under the guidance of Sr. Administrators, perform the role of Biomedical Informatics Consultant to Researchers needing more help with REDCap besides the normal scope of user support. This includes intake, problem definition, solution design, execution and delivery of desired deliverables.

Communicate with investigators to determine scope, requirements, deliverables and timing for consultation.

End users will, on occasion, need help in troubleshooting their own code related to the advanced calculations and logic functionality of REDCap.
REDCap's Dynamic SQL function requires an Administrator to be properly implemented; this requires knowledge of SQL and the underlying database structure of REDCap.
Run weekly level 100 REDCap training sessions ranging from introduction classes to more advanced topics related to REDCap.

Other (5%)
Participate in the REDCap administrative consortium.
Participate in all aspects of improving the team, including education/training of other team members and contributing to process/communication improvement initiatives.
