Position Description

This position will serve the State Center for Health Statistics specifically working in the Central Cancer Registry. This is technical and professional work in the collection, evaluation and analysis of program data for a state agency. Positions provide statistical support and data evaluation for an agency or program with continuous and varied data and analysis requirements. Studies are usually requested by management, but the statistician may also recommend areas of investigation. Procedures for collecting and processing data may be subject to the review of others; however, statistical techniques and analytical processes employed are usually the province of the employee. Narratives or public presentations may be used to explain the study process and the conclusions in terms of statistically significant results and subject matter or program area conclusions. Drafts or final reports are reviewed by the manager requesting the study for conformance to study objectives, correctness of program or subject matter statements, and for implications of analyses.
