Looking for a change?
The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine is looking for an experienced Data Documentalist to work with an established team of data managers on a unique data resource in Malawi. The Malawi Epidemiology and Intervention Research Unit (formerly known as Karonga Prevention Study, a London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine research programme) has a large, complex database, encompassing millions of records of linked contacts on over 400,000 individuals, dating back to 1979, and including ongoing large population based studies.
We are currently developing a data warehouse, to ensure accessibility of the data in perpetuity and incorporating latest data documentation standards, and providing open access to the data and metadata to the greatest possible extent. We are looking for an individual to lead on acquisition of data and its pre-ingestion into documentation and cataloguing software, to have primary responsibility for all the ingestion of data into metadata management programs (eg. DDI, Nesstar, Colectica etc.), to develop appropriate administration and enforcement of access conditions, and to provide training and user support of the established new data warehouse. In addition the individual would manage the metadata entry officers.
The post will be based in our offices in Lilongwe, Malawi, with frequent visits to our rural Karonga site and visits to London as required. The position is available to start as soon as possible and is funded by the Wellcome Trust until 31 August 2017.
