What you do in your current job?
- My tasks range from administrative and data management tasks to performing statistical analysis.
- Administrative tasks consist of daily contact with the two screening centers, assisting in sorting out any problems with the screening center timetable and epicrisis database. Further, I have the responsibility to plan when and how many invitations to send weekly to participants in both study arms. It is important to balance the amount of invitations with the colonoscopy capacity at the hospital screening centers. This is to ensure that the hospitals are able to examine participants with positive screening results within the guaranteed maximum waiting time.
- Data management tasks consist of both updating the database and extracting raw data from the screening database using MySQL programming language. I do this for example when someone wants up to date numbers for a presentation or when researchers working on the project need data for their research projects.
- Currently I am working on a 3 years status report of the project. For this report I am doing a statistical analysis together with a statistician using SAS programming to get preliminary information about results and differences between the two screening modalities.
How did you get the job?
