The Aligning Research to Impact Autism (ARIA) Data Management and Coordinating Center at Boston Children's Hospital is seeking a full-time Computational Health Informatics Data Manager II to facilitate clinical research collaboration across the ARIA Network. The Data Manager will work with the Data Coordination Director, Dr. Alexander Li Cohen, to advise study-level data management teams in partnership with Children's Hospital of Los Angeles.

A successful candidate will thrive in a dynamic environment with frequent engagement with multiple stakeholders. They will have direct data management experience with clinical research studies so that, from their own experience, they can supervise study-level data managers through informed leadership and teamwork. This role will primarily be a supervisory and administrative role and does not involve interaction with study participants or patients. Preferred 3+ year commitment.

The Computational Health Informatics Data Manager II will be responsible for:

• Oversee study data managers, ensuring they have the necessary resources and training to design, implement, and validate clinical research databases.* Coordinate data use agreements (DUAs) across multiple sites. Assist with IRB-required changes related to data management/sharing protocols, adapting to differences in regulatory processes across sites.
• Ensure consortia-level data exchange is secure and standardized to enable effective research collaboration in compliance with HIPAA and GCP guidelines.
