Basic data manipulation steps will compose a large part of the work: bulk import of tables, merging tables and set operations. The successful candidate will work largely independently and will communicate with research programs to resolve data discrepancies and other collaborators regarding best practices. The candidate will also need to coordinate and collaborate with other project members via git for code development supporting data curation. Communicate with project participants about progress and information needs. Participate in regular meetings with collaborators. Develop training materials focused on training collaborators on storage and management of their annual trial data using an existing industry-focused database solution and other relevant tools. Work with the database user community as needed to acquire and/or further develop content that supports routine usage of these tools for data management. As needed, build resources for print and web delivery including written tutorials, live workshops, quick reference pages (“cheat sheets”), and possibly short instructional videos. Required Qualifications: * Experience in working with tabular data. * Experience with spreadsheet software. * Experience with written communications such as reports, manuscripts, conference abstracts, and grant applications. * Experience using git for version control. * Experience in bulk import of files, merging data sets, automated error checking using command line software such as R, bash, python, or OpenRefine. * Experience in R Programming with R base commands and the R Tidyverse. * Experience collaborating with others.
