Technical Writer Required For Transcription Of Legacy Document

Job Description:

We are migrating from legacy NAMS application to new Mosaic platform. As part of the migration, we need to transcribe active license protocols into Mosaic from NAMS.

We have created a AI mapping tool to automate a lot of this process but require a resource to manually transcribe the output of the mapping tool into Mosaic.

We have approx.. 250-280 documents globally with each document taking approx. 2-3 hours to transcribe and verify (approx.. 840 hours / 105 days / 5 months).

We plan to perform this transcription site by site (SD, EM, CM & BS) so this process can take between 4-6 months of calendar time.

Risk if not pursued:

  • Running two applications in parallel for longer time which causes complexity support, Vivarium users having to use two applications for different experiments,
  • Data quality less than what we expect as individual users try to migrate
  • Risk to not migration users to new platform in planned time and initiative close timelines


Value / Benefit:

  • Clean process and higher data quality
  • Allows us to move users to new application with less challenges, costs and issues using old system
  • Complete initiative in good time
  • Allow us to begin retiring NAMS sooner


Location: Cambridge, MA(Remote)

Pay Rate: $40 - $45/hour based on experience and qualifications (W2 Only)
