The Research Specialist may perform probabilistic data linkage using Match*Pro or other specialized tools. Contribute to and adhere to team documentation of technical procedures.

(5%) Undertake other assigned responsibilities, which may include participating in disaster response and recovery efforts or Continuity of Operations (COOP) activation, potentially requiring alternate shift patterns or locations.

Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:

Knowledge of cancer surveillance practices, cancer standard-setting organizations, and cancer disease progression.
