Statistician/Senior Statistician - Children's Learning Institute
Ut Health Science Center at Houston 4.8
Houston, TX job
The Children's Learning Institute (CLI) at UTHealth Houston is seeking a Statistician/Senior Statistician to support our Texas State Initiatives, working at the intersection of advanced analytics, large-scale data systems, and applied education research. In addition to strong quantitative skills, the successful candidate will be comfortable working with very large, frequently updated datasets and navigating a variety of data architectures across multiple projects. Our work centers on state-level educational data and involves close collaboration with State Education Agencies (SEAs), Local Education Agencies (LEAs), and other stakeholders to generate rigorous, policy-relevant insights.
The Statistician/Senior Statistician will support both recurring, large-scale reporting (annual, quarterly) and higher-frequency deliverables (e.g., weekly or near-real-time monitoring reports), with the expectation that analytic workflows will be built and maintained to be efficient, reproducible, and responsive to programmatic change. This position will work closely with a faculty manager, who will provide substantive and methodological guidance as needed. We expect the successful candidate to bring robust foundational skills and demonstrated experience applying advanced methods commonly used in large-scale education research (for example, multilevel and growth models, structural equation models, and IRT), and to be comfortable deepening and extending that expertise through self-directed learning and targeted collaboration with faculty. Proficiency in SAS is crucial, as many of our existing data pipelines and analyses are implemented and documented in SAS, and the candidate should be able to understand, maintain, and adapt legacy code. Experience with additional statistical programming languages (such as R or Python), along with a demonstrated ability to consult documentation, learn new tools, and adapt code examples from external sources to address novel analytic questions, is also highly valued. This role is ideal for a candidate who combines solid statistical training with strong data engineering instincts, intellectual curiosity, and a commitment to supporting large, statewide education initiatives that directly impact children, educators, and systems across Texas.

This position reports to Dr. Salim Hayek, Chair of the Department of Internal Medicine. The Division Chief will lead a division with robust outpatient (internal medicine primary care) and inpatient components (hospitalists and surgical co-management services), working closely with hospital leadership, surgical departments, and interdisciplinary colleagues to expand clinical services, enhance quality outcomes, and advance the tripartite mission of patient care, education, and investigation.
INSTITUTIONAL CONTEXT
UTMB is a $3.5 billion academic health center established in 1891 as Texas's first medical school, comprising Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Health Professions, Public and Population Health, and a Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. With $168 million in sponsored research awards, UTMB ranks 52nd nationally in NIH funding among medical schools and stands in the top 2 percent of institutions receiving NIH support.
The institution operates four hospital campuses (Galveston, Clear Lake, League City, Angleton-Danbury) with over 1,000 beds and more than 90 clinics serving a population exceeding 1.8 million across Southeast Texas. UTMB is the only academic health science center south of Houston and serves as the Level I Trauma Center for a nine-county region. Clinical strengths include quaternary care capabilities, comprehensive burn care through partnership with Shriners Hospital for Children, transplant services, and specialty medical care for a substantial portion of Texas's incarcerated population through the TDCJ Hospital partnership. The main Galveston campus includes Jennie Sealy Hospital (310 patient rooms with 60 dedicated ICU beds, completed 2016) and John Sealy Hospital, along with the verified burn center and the 172-bed Texas Department of Criminal Justice Hospital.
UTMB houses the Galveston National Laboratory, one of two BSL-4 biocontainment facilities on a U.S. university campus, and the Sealy Center for Vaccine Development.
