Please share - @pewresearch.org wants to hire a data archivist who will be an advocate for data users, helping to ensure that our datasets are easy to discover and reuse by researchers, journalists, and the public. pewtrusts.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/CenterExtern...

Pew Research Center is seeking a Data Archivist to support our commitment to open science and data transparency. This newly created role will play a key part in enhancing the accessibility, usability, and reproducibility of our research data while continuing to protect the privacy and identity of our survey participants.

As Data Archivist, you will lead efforts to create and implement best practices for preparing, documenting, and disseminating datasets. These best practices should maximize FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles while minimizing disclosure risk. You will work across teams to ensure our data is well-organized and thoroughly documented.

You will serve as an internal advocate for data users, helping to ensure that our datasets are not only accurate and comprehensive but also easy to discover and reuse by researchers, journalists, and the public.

This is a full-time, Pew Research Center position. The position is funded by an external grant and limited to a two-year term.

Primary Responsibilities

Develop optimization procedures to improve discoverability of our datasets on internal and external platforms

Develop and maintain standards to improve accessibility of our microdata and tab plans by changing/adding formats and/or adding documentation

Identify metadata documentation best practices and a process to implement those best practices at the Center

Work with Legal to evaluate most appropriate license to publicly share the Center's survey data, including Creative Common options

Identify and correct processing inefficiencies in our data publication process

Sit on the internal Disclosure Risk Taskforce

Document analytical decisions and code to support transparency and replicability, including the development of a RACI chart for publishing code to recreate derived variables that are used in reports but are not included in the microdata

Manage/create merged time series datasets for select Center datasets

Identify a process for internally archiving data and projects that are no longer in active use

Identify and implement a process to assign Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) to microdata

Prepare and upload public-facing datasets and restricted-use datasets for external sharing.

Train staff on FAIR principles and best practices in data archiving.

Education/Training/Experience

Bachelor’s degree required, preferably in library sciences, organizational management, or a related field.

5-7 years of experience with data archiving, database management, or survey research. This may include graduate training at the MA/PhD level or equivalent experience in an applied setting.

At least 3-5 years of experience applying FAIR and open science principles.

Background in social science research or data curation.

Experience in data management, archiving, or research support.

Familiarity with FAIR principles, Creative Common licensing, data privacy principles, and exposure risk.

Proficiency in metadata standards and documentation tools.

Experience managing research projects, including working collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team.

Experience with statistical software (e.g., R, Python, Stata) and reproducible research workflows.

Knowledge, Skill and Workplace Requirements

Strong organizational and communication skills.

Detail oriented with exacting standards to maintain accuracy and impartiality in all work products.

Ability to work independently to carry out special projects from start to finish.

Ability to balance numerous tasks simultaneously.

Ability to work collaboratively and collegially with other team members, as well as with staff from other Pew Research Center teams.

Ability to balance competing priorities and identify optimal solutions

FLSA Status: Exempt

Compensation: Starting salary is commensurate with experience within the range of $100,000 - $120,000.

Hybrid Work Schedule: Pew Research Center staff are required to be present in the Center’s Washington, D.C., office three core days weekly (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday). Staff may work virtually from remote locations on other days in a typical work week.
