Research Program Analyst

Join UCLA Health's Research Informatics team and play a key role in advancing biomedical, translational, clinical, and health services research. As a Research Program Analyst, you'll serve as a trusted resource for investigators, helping them navigate UCLA Health's data, analytics, informatics, and technology capabilities. This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of research, data, technology, and healthcare, helping investigators navigate complex needs and gain access to the tools and expertise that can accelerate meaningful discovery.

You'll work directly with researchers to understand their goals, translate complex needs into clear requirements, and connect them with the right platforms, experts, and institutional resources. When an existing solution isn't the right fit, you'll help evaluate new options and coordinate the expertise needed to move innovative research forward.

• Partner with investigators and research teams to understand project goals, workflows, data needs, technology requirements, and regulatory considerations.
• Translate research needs into clear requirements and identify practical, fit-for-purpose solutions.
• Connect researchers with the right technology platforms, research cores, service owners, compliance teams, and subject-matter experts.
• Coordinate handoffs, escalations, and follow-through to keep research initiatives moving forward.
• Track requirements, decisions, risks, dependencies, recommendations, and project status to ensure continuity and transparency.
• Use established metrics and performance indicators to evaluate demand, service delivery, outcomes, and opportunities for improvement.
• Partner with Research Informatics program leaders to develop training, workshops, office hours, and guidance that promote responsible use of technology and strong data-management, security, stewardship, and reproducibility practices.
