"Neuroimaging Data Analyst D"

Neuroimaging Data Analyst D

The Shanmugan Laboratory is part of the Department of Psychiatry, the Neurodevelopment & Psychosis Section, and the Lifespan Brain Institute (LiBI). Our goal is to personalize early interventions in reproductive psychiatry. To do this, we use non-invasive neuroimaging and advanced computational methods to understand mechanisms underlying sex differences in psychopathology and identify neuroendocrinologic markers of risk vs. resilience for psychiatric disorders. The Neuroimaging Data Analyst D will provide support for managing and analyzing data.

The Neuroimaging Data Analyst D provides support for managing and analyzing neuroimaging data. Analysts play a central role on large-scale projects that seek to understand the impact of reproductive timepoints, including puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, on the brain. Within these projects, they work in a team environment with a diverse, multi-disciplinary group of faculty and trainees from psychiatry, psychology engineering, statistics, and computer science. Primary responsibilities include management, processing, and analysis of high-dimensional imaging data. Additional responsibilities will be assigned based on the successful candidate's skills and interests. All analysts additionally lead independent projects (i.e., meta-analyses of neuroimaging studies) where they write first-author manuscripts.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Statistics, or Computational Neuroscience, and 3 to 5 years of research experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience is required. Master's degree preferred. To succeed in the highly collaborative environment, excellent interpersonal and communication skills are required.
