Overview:

The CDC Foundation is seeking an Epidemiologist to evaluate Electronic Case Reporting (eCR) data and support Utah’s measles outbreak response. This role will analyze complex, high-volume clinical data to identify key insights on disease transmission, patient risk factors, and intervention effectiveness, while validating and enhancing traditional case investigation data.

· Identify and map common patient risk factors and clinical care timelines to better understand the dynamics of disease transmission and intervention effectiveness.

· Transform raw clinical data into "actionable intelligence," ensuring insights are integrated directly into the UDHHS response efforts.

This role is involved in a dynamic public health program. As such, roles and responsibilities are subject to change as situations evolve.
