We have a great opportunity for an enthusiastic individual with a breadth of technical skills to assist child health researchers with their data collection endeavours. We are looking for an established analyst/application developer with proven skills with ASP.Net and WinForms technologies to build complete, (SQL based) custom data collection and storage solutions. The ideal candidate will be able to conceptualise the bigger picture pertaining to the data collection activity while building the required components of the solution.
Key skills:
- Significant ASP.Net (Webforms, MVC, WebPI), WinForms, SQL development experience.
- Excellent DBA skills - mainly design and querying.
- Release management/software deployment experience.
- Ability to work with minimal supervision or assistance to complete tasks.
- Ability to work well with other developers, and monitor/juggle priorities.
- Microsoft Net Technologies, Visual Studio, C#, PHP, JavaScript, CSS, JSON experience.
- Knowledge of REST, SOAP and similar concepts/frameworks.
The position sits within our Data Services team (a part of our Biometrics unit), and will be filled by someone with the technical abilities to maintain our platforms while upholding a clear vision of how the final product is interacted with by our end users (research participants).
Day-to-day activities will broadly include:
- Scoping, building, testing and delivering new customised data collection systems (including case report forms) to capture health care/reaserch data.
- Responding to requests for interrogation of and modification to existing databases.
- Establishing links between data collection platforms.
- Provisioning (maintaining servers, user accounts, troubleshooting issues) a number of virtualised data collection platforms (eg, REDCap).
- Managing relationships with platform providers.
In this position, you will get to work with a wide range of colleagues from across the child health research campus, including IT staff, software developers, biostatisticians, students, researchers, nurses, and clinicians. You will work on a range of projects from the Telethon Kid’s research focus areas, spanning autism, cancer, diabetes, lung health, mental health, perinatal outcomes, and more. The projects will present themselves in all states, from conception (rough ideas) through to well-developed protocols. In working closely with others from the Data Services team, you will help researchers ensure they have considered (and have access to) all the technology required to carry out their research studies, guiding them through important considerations like offline forms, the ability for public users to save partially completed forms, the appropriate use of conditional logic, appropriate layouts (pages/section breakup), and the workflows for the rule based handling of forms on submission. From a technical aspect, there is plenty of scope to contribute to the building and management of bespoke database solutions using Microsoft.NET platform and SQL servers; including professional development opportunities.
