Data Analyst
Current• Problem-solve computational and analytic challenges by investigating the data, understanding the root questions, and coming up with alternative measurement strategies• Implement code solutions in order to answer analytic questions, perform diagnostics on results, and test and assess new methods• Maintain, update, and adapt databases containing health data from multiple sources such as surveys, vital registration systems, administrative records, and published studies relevant to demographic estimation• Maintain, update, and carry out routine but complex computational processes and statistical modeling that are central to generating estimates of key indicators• Execute queries on databases and resolve intricate questions in order to respond to the needs of senior researchers and external requests from collaborators, media, policymakers, donors, and other stakeholders• Bring together data, analytic engines, and data visualizations in one seamless computational process• Use protocols to identify problems with datasets and routine computational processes, rectify issues, and systematize data for future analyses• Transform and format datasets for use in ongoing analyses. Catalog and incorporate these datasets into databases. Perform quality checks• Work directly with researchers to identify the source of data used in models and results, understand the context of the data, and ensure that they are relevant to the analyses themselves
