Hi gang, We have a position opening in the lab where I am currently a postdoc. Please see announcement below: The laboratory of Dr. Amit Etkin in the Department of Psychiatry is currently looking for a software developer for multivariate pattern classification tools for neuroimaging data analysis. The job description can be found below. Interested applicants can go to jobs.stanford.edu and submit an application through requisition # 37272. If you have any questions about the position or the lab, please contact Dr. Etkin at [log in to unmask] The Department of Psychiatry at Stanford University School of Medicine, is looking for Research Software Developer. This is an exciting opportunity to work on an NIH-funded project that use advanced imaging techniques to understand brain networks and their functions across psychiatric disorders. The successful candidate will have as a primary focus the collaborative design and implementation of multivariate pattern classification methods for functional and structural MRI analyses acquired on patients with a range of mood or anxiety disorders. The candidate will also participate in all other aspects of data management and analysis related to lab projects, including basic programming support for ongoing analyses, data archiving and management of the lab computer network. Since a goal of this work is to create novel and creative ways to analyze neuroimaging data to provide basic insight into the brain mechanisms of psychiatric disorders, the successful candidate will be encouraged to exercise their creativity in achieving these goals, as well as actively contribute to manuscript preparation. The qualified candidate will have a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, Statistics, Physics, Neuroscience, Psychology, or related field; an advanced degree in one of these fields is preferred. Excellent organizational, interpersonal, and oral and written communication skills are required. No formal experience is necessary, but prefer candidates with academic or industry experience with data and signal processing particularly as it relates to functional or structural MRI data processing. Strong computer background and expert use of scripting, Matlab, and other programming skills required. Experience with multivariate pattern classification methodology is strongly preferred. Experience with the acquisition of MRI data, complex physiological monitoring, signal/data processing, familiarity with MRI and fMRI data analysis, or neuroanatomy are all desirable. ------------------------------------------------ Desmond Oathes, Ph.D. Department of Psychiatry Stanford University School of Medicine 401 Quarry Road Stanford, CA 94305
