Institutional Research Director

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description about BMCC and role. We need headings for sections that have content: About the role (maybe summary), Responsibilities, Requirements/Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Must only include sections if posting has real specific content. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. Pay: they have salary range $95,094 - $109,519; that's specific, so include Pay section. Benefits: they describe benefits: health plans, retirement/pension, tuition waivers, paid time off, academic/arts/athletic programs. That's specific, include Benefits. Schedule: not mentioned; no schedule info, so omit. Skills: they list preferred qualifications: experience with statistical software, data visualization, communication, organizational skills, higher ed analytics, Microsoft Teams/Copilot. Those could go under Skills or Requirements. We have Qualifications section (minimum and preferred). We'll put Qualifications heading with both minimum and preferred as list. Responsibilities: many bullet points. We'll list them under Responsibilities. About the role: we can have a paragraph summarizing the role from the description: The Director works with AVP... etc. Could be a prose paragraph. We'll include About the role as a

. Ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, application instructions, etc. Also remove "CUNY Title Overview" maybe could be part of About the role? It's more description of title. Could incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities. We'll keep relevant content. We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with qualifications, education and experience." That's in Pay line but we already have salary range; the phrase "commensurate with qualifications, education and experience" is filler; we should not include that phrase. In Pay section we should just give the salary range. Avoid filler. Benefits: we should include specific benefits listed: health plans, competitive retirement/pension benefits and savings plans, tuition waivers for CUNY graduate study, generous paid time off, extensive academic, arts, and athletic programs on campuses, opportunity to participate in lively diverse academic community. That's specific. We must not include "CUNY's benefits contribute significantly to total compensation..." maybe okay but it's somewhat generic; but we can keep as prose. Now produce HTML:

But we might split into two lists? Could keep as one list with items. Better: separate Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications as subheadings? Not allowed because only allowed headings are the specified ones. Could embed in list. We'll do:

We need to ensure we didn't include Schedule. No. Now craft About the role paragraph: combine description of BMCC and role: The Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC), part of CUNY, is a vibrant, pluralistic learning community... The Director works with the AVP of Institutional Effectiveness and Strategic Planning to provide information that is accurate, meaningful, and useful... The Director of Institutional Research and Data Science reports to the AVP... Ensure all federal, state, and other external reporting requirements are submitted or responded to accurately and in a timely manner. Oversee day-to-day operation of Institutional Research team including budget development and administration, supervision and evaluation of direct reports... etc. But many of those are responsibilities; we can keep About the role as a high-level summary: The Director of Institutional Research and Data Science provides leadership for the college's institutional research function, ensuring accurate data reporting, supporting decision-making, and promoting a culture of evidence. Works with senior management on assessment, strategic planning, and grant reporting. That's enough. Let's write a concise paragraph. Now produce HTML fragment only. Check for any boilerplate: we removed EEO, application instructions, closing date, job ID, location, job type, etc. Also removed "CUNY Title Overview" maybe we could incorporate some of that into About the role or Responsibilities but it's okay to omit if not needed? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep substantive info from CUNY Title Overview. That includes: Directs institutional research programs and contributes to academic program planning, evaluation, and other activities related to the College's mission. Works collaboratively with senior management on issues of assessment, including general institutional effectiveness and measures of student success and learning. Designs and oversees research efforts with an institutional scope and assists departments and offices with focused research needs. Coordinates program reviews and accreditation reporting. Manages institutional research data systems and other resources. Maintains standard management information and official statistics for internal and external reporting. Develops procedures to support analytical, planning, and assessment functions in student and academic areas. Performs related duties as assigned. These are substantive; we should include them, likely under Responsibilities. So we need to merge those bullet points with the earlier responsibilities list. Thus Responsibilities will be a comprehensive list combining both sets. Let's compile all responsibilities: From earlier bullet list: - Ensure all federal, state, and other external reporting requirements are submitted or responded to accurately and in a timely manner. - Oversee the day-to-day operation of Institutional Research team including budget development and administration, supervision and evaluation of direct reports - Analyze data to produce and update interactive dashboards, institutional reports, graphical presentations, visualizations, etc. - Manage, complete, and track both ad hoc and recurring data requests submitted to the office, including regularly scheduled reporting cycles and anticipated institutional data needs. - Coordinate, collect, and document the integration of data from diverse internal and external sources, including the development of data source guides and dictionaries to support transparency and consistency. - Design and produce data reports that support assessment activities and enable ongoing evaluation of program and initiative effectiveness. - Develop and/or interpret predictive analytics to inform decision-making and best practices. - Work collaboratively with senior management and other stakeholders to support grant applications and reporting, scholarly activities, and other research projects. - Develop analytical studies on student enrollment, retention, and other success metrics to inform and support strategic enrollment initiatives, student success efforts, and student learning. - Effectively communicate and present data findings to audiences with varying levels of technical expertise, ensuring clarity, accessibility, and actionable insights. - Provide expert consultation to college personnel on data management, research methodology, analysis, and interpretation. - Develop, implement, and sustain a culture of evidence by promoting high standards for data quality and integrity and utility across departments. - Support institutional planning and goal setting by tracking progress toward college’s strategic plan and ensure that the strategic plan is integrated with college, CUNY and state planning initiatives. - Employee the use of Artificial Intelligence to enhance office workflow and support stakeholders. (typo: "Employee" should be "Employ"? but keep as is) - Implement best practices for data documentation, governance, and security. - Serve on various college-wide and external committees, task forces, project teams, advisory groups, affinity groups, etc., as assigned. - Keep abreast of current data analysis, Artificial Intelligence (AI), data ethics, external reporting, assessment, accreditation, and other relevant and appropriate bets practices, platforms, tools, and software. (typo "bets" but keep) - Perform other related duties as assigned. From CUNY Title Overview: - Directs institutional research programs and contributes to academic program planning, evaluation, and other activities related to the College's mission. - Works collaboratively with senior management on issues of assessment, including general institutional effectiveness and measures of student success and learning. - Designs and oversees research efforts with an institutional scope and assists departments and offices with focused research needs. - Coordinates program reviews and accreditation reporting. - Manages institutional research data systems and other resources. - Maintains standard management information and official statistics for internal and external reporting. - Develops procedures to support analytical, planning, and assessment functions in student and academic areas. - Performs related duties as assigned. We need to avoid duplication. Some overlap: e.g., "Designs and oversees research efforts..." similar to "Analyze data to produce..." etc. We'll keep unique items but can keep both if not exact duplicate. Better to merge similar. We'll produce a list that includes all distinct responsibilities, phrased as given. Let's create list items: - Direct institutional research programs and contribute to academic program planning, evaluation, and other activities related to the College's mission. - Work collaboratively with senior management on assessment issues, including general institutional effectiveness and measures of student success and learning. - Design and oversee research efforts with an institutional scope; assist departments and offices with focused research needs. - Coordinate program reviews and accreditation reporting. - Manage institutional research data systems and other resources. - Maintain standard management information and official statistics for internal and external reporting. - Develop procedures to support analytical, planning, and assessment functions in student and academic areas. - Ensure all federal, state, and other external reporting requirements are submitted or responded to accurately and in a timely manner. - Oversee day-to-day operation of the Institutional Research team, including budget development and administration, supervision and evaluation of direct reports. - Analyze data to produce and update interactive dashboards, institutional reports, graphical presentations, visualizations, etc. - Manage, complete, and track both ad hoc and recurring data requests submitted to the office, including regularly scheduled reporting cycles and anticipated institutional data needs. - Coordinate, collect, and document the integration of data from diverse internal and external sources, including the development of data source guides and dictionaries to support transparency and consistency. - Design and produce data reports that support assessment activities and enable ongoing evaluation of program and initiative effectiveness. - Develop and/or interpret predictive analytics to inform decision-making and best practices. - Work collaboratively with senior management and other stakeholders to support grant applications and reporting, scholarly activities, and other research projects. - Develop analytical studies on student enrollment, retention, and other success metrics to inform and support strategic enrollment initiatives, student success efforts, and student learning. - Effectively communicate and present data findings to audiences with varying levels of technical expertise, ensuring clarity, accessibility, and actionable insights. - Provide expert consultation to college personnel on data management, research methodology, analysis, and interpretation. - Develop, implement, and sustain a culture of evidence by promoting high standards for data quality and integrity and utility across departments. - Support institutional planning and goal setting by tracking progress toward the college’s strategic plan and ensure that the strategic plan is integrated with college, CUNY, and state planning initiatives. - Employ the use
