The UC Master Gardener Program is a public service and outreach statewide program, a part of the UC Division

UC research-based information about horticulture, gardening, and pest management to the public. The program recruits, trains, and supports
volunteers who work in tandem with their county-based UC Cooperative Extension (UCCE) office to extend sustainable gardening information
into their local communities and alongside community partnerships.

The Research Data Analyst, under the general direction of the
Assistant Director of Impact & Communication, plays a pivotal role in driving the program impact data, impact communications, and research
approaches within the UC Master Gardener Program. This position involves the collection, analysis, and interpretation of a broad spectrum of
research and impact data related to horticulture, community gardening benefits, and volunteer impact.

The Research Data Analyst will

program’s volunteer management database, including maintenance and quality control of the data inputs.

An important role in the
statewide team, the Research Data Analyst collaborates with the program’s horticulture training, volunteer engagement and communications
team, UC ANR’s program planning and evaluation team, academics, community partners, and volunteers. This position will be responsible for
all reporting requirements, including preparation and submission of federal and UC ANR annual reports.

The ability to prepare clear,
detailed reports inclusive of charts, tables, and other visual aids to communicate data and impact results as well as writing impact
communications, is a critical aspect of this role. This multifaceted role offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to the growth and
success of the UC Master Gardener Program statewide. The working title for this position is ‘Statewide Evaluation Coordinator’.
