Dear fellow listers,

I am taking the liberty of posting my resume to this list.  I apologize
if anyone considers this a breach of policy, but it is clearly a useful
way to make my availability known to a large audience.  Please feel free
to pass it along to anyone that you think might be interested.  Send
responses to me directly- not to the list.  Thanks.

OBJECTIVE
     To contribute to the efforts of a scientific research team
     in the Greater Seattle area.  My successful experience in
     data analysis, applications programming, and database
     management gained through my participation in eleven
     research projects will help a team achieve its research and
     publication goals.

EXPERIENCE
     Data analysis: Analyzed data from the following research
     projects using statistical techniques ranging from the t-
     test and correlation to the analysis of variance, the
     analysis of covariance, and multiple linear regression:
       - Carbohydrate induction of plasma triglyceride.
       - Self-efficacy and success at lowering plasma
         cholesterol.
       - Effect of phasic birth control pills on plasma lipids.
       - Effect of low-fat diets on plasma Lp(a).
       - Vitamin and mineral deficiencies in an elderly
         population and their association with ischemic tissue
         injury.
       - Effect of burn severity on the accuracy of urinary
         nitrogen measurements.
       - Impact of Washington's subsidized health insurance
         program (Basic Health Plan) on the medically uninsured.
       - Costs, use of services, and reactions of patients to a
         home-like hospital ward (the Planetree unit) in San
         Francisco.
       - The comparative use of health services experienced by
         three Seattle-area healthcare organizations.
       - Grazing of marine phytoplankton by a Puget Sound copepod
         (Pseudocalanus sp.)
       - Effect on the growth of an algal population by a
         synthetic aluminosilicate (zeolite) commonly found in
         laundry detergent.

     Applications Programming:  Have written programs for
     mainframe computers since 1976; for microcomputers since
     1984.  Highly proficient in SAS (including the programming
     language, macro processor, statistical,  and graphics
     procedures), FORTRAN, SPSS, MS-DOS, and VM/CMS (UW IBM main-
     frame operating system).  Competent with dBase.

     Communication:  Coauthor on three published manuscripts and
     three currently under review.  Recently wrote the methods
     sections for two manuscripts and am currently working on the
     methods, results, and discussion sections of two others. I
     have excellent verbal skills which I have used to understand
     datasets obtained from government (State of Washington, City
     of Seattle), healthcare providers (Group Health, Pierce
     County Medical, Clallam County Physicians, Pacific Medical
     Center), survey companies, dieticians, laboratory
     scientists, epidemiologists, and biostatisticians.

     Scientific Knowledge:  I have been a fan of science for a
     long time.  I have been formally educated in several areas
     of science, with particular emphasis on vertebrate and
     molecular biology; and phytoplankton and zooplankton
     ecology.  My advanced degree in mathematics emphasized
     probability, statistics, and numerical methods.  I take a
     deep interest in the subject matter of my work and have
     found that I can rapidly absorb new ideas.

     Database Management:  Constructed and maintained datasets as
     large as 400,000 records.  Made datasets from different
     sources mutually compatible and merged them to create files
     suitable for statistical analyses.  Experienced user of
     magnetic tapes.  Have prepared documentation for datasets.

     Collaboration:  Worked independently on research projects in
     graduate school and, since 1984, have worked with
     programmers, biostatisticians, epidemiologists, economists,
     physicians, dieticians, healthcare insurance personnel, and
     data processors in a variety of collaborative projects.

     Supervisory:  Supervised the programming and data management
     activities of a full-time programmer, five part-time
     programmers, and several data entry technicians.
