Trinity College seeks to hire a Summit Fellow for Data Analysis for a two-year position. Summit Fellows work to advance particular strategic goals and initiatives, as well as support College-wide implementation of Trinity’s bicentennial strategic plan, “Summit” . The Summit Fellow for Data Analysis will report to the Director of Analytics and Strategic Initiatives.

The Analytics and Strategic Initiatives Center ( ASIC ) team works to advance Trinity’s diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives through the use of data and analytics. In collaboration with campus partners, we leverage surveys and data as tools to help understand the experiences of all members of the Trinity community. We strive to amplify a diversity of voices through information and insights gleaned from data about the college. We value the myriad benefits that a diversity of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives brings to the analysis and interpretation of data, allowing us to more fully understand its context and meaning.

As a member of the ASIC, this Summit Fellow will have the opportunity to collaborate on a variety of data projects spanning multiple subject areas and utilizing advanced software tools—work that will directly support decision-making by all levels of college leadership. Given the broad scope of ASIC, there is flexibility to adapt this position to the experience and interests of the incumbent.

  • assisting with research design, visualization, and dissemination of results to key stakeholders;
  • assisting with the design and implementation of processes for the systematic collection and organization of data;
  • extracting and consolidating data from multiple internal and external sources, including relational databases, text files, statistical files, and web services;
  • investigating, validating, and documenting data quality and integrity;
  • documenting procedures and data structures;
  • assisting with the design, administration, and analysis of web-based surveys; and
  • preparing technical training materials for the Trinity community.
Compensation
Summit Fellows will receive a competitive salary and benefits, as well as have access to professional development opportunities. Fellows who choose to enroll in one of the college’s graduate programs are eligible for tuition remission.

Qualifications

Fellows must have successfully earned an undergraduate degree in any field within the last 3 years, preferably from a liberal arts college. They must be agile, creative, and passionate about the liberal arts experience and Trinity’s mission and strategic goals. Ideal candidates will have a proven track record of being highly collaborative and committed to inclusiveness, and they will be interested in thinking about the future of higher education.

Successful candidates will possess intellectual curiosity, entrepreneurial spirit, excellent analytical skills, and the perseverance to iterate repeatedly in search of solutions to complex problems; be eager to stay abreast of emerging best practices and learn new tools and techniques; enjoy working in a fast-paced environment with concurrent assignments and short deadlines; be comfortable working both as part of a team and independently; and be able to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical audiences in written and verbal forms.

Other desired qualifications include:
  • experience with quantitative data analysis (using Tableau, Excel, SPSS, SQL, and/or Access) and familiarity with descriptive statistics;
  • familiarity with SQL queries to manage and extract data;
  • familiarity with survey design and management (preferably using Qualtrics);
