The European Neuroscience Institute is looking to fill the position of a data analyst (full time). We are looking for a data analyst with interest and experience in systems neuroscience. Research at the European Neuroscience Institute ranges from molecular biology to human psychophysics and involves a range of model organisms (from drosophila to non-human primates), techniques and approaches (electrophysiology, two-photon imaging, fMRI, EEG, behavior). The data analyst will work closely with all of the various research groups at the European Neuroscience Institute, supporting research efforts, e.g., through modelling and statistical analyses of high-dimensional data, image processing, and programming/development of experiments. S/he will have the opportunity to develop and publish, e.g., analytical tools that arise from this work.

• The applicant should possess a university degree (minimally M. Sc. or equivalent) in a relevant field, e.g., statistics, biostatistics, informatics, or similar. Prior experience in the field of systems neuroscience is highly desired.
• The applicant should have experience in a research setting utilizing quantitative methods and statistics. The applicant shall demonstrate strong analytical skills and knowledge of novel and emerging analysis techniques is highly desired. Future/forward thinking in the area of big data analytics/informatics and applying them to contribute to the research groups’ scientific process is expected.
• The applicant should be skilled in the analysis of multivariate datasets to reveal patterns and build models; conduct exploratory data analysis, and communicate with team lead/team members; identify improvements for existing data management and recommend requirements for new systems.
• Contribute to replicability by making suggestions for existing data management and recommend requirements for new systems and identify potential data integrity issues. We are committed to open data/open science and appreciate interest and expertise in this area.
• Utilize programming languages such as Python, Matlab and/or C++.
• Good command of English is mandatory.
