Assistant Research Scientist Position at the Child Mind Institute
=================================================================
Job Summary:
Applications are currently being invited for an Assistant Research
Scientist position available at the Child Mind Institute, under the
direction of Cameron Craddock, PhD. The Child Mind Institute makes use of
innovative MRI- and EEG-based imaging approaches to characterize brain
maturation across the lifespan, with a particular focus on understanding
the impact of psychiatric illnesses on maturational processes.
Additionally, the Child Mind Institute is dedicated to the support of
open-datasharing initiatives, such as International Neuroimaging
Datasharing Initiative (http://fcon_1000.projects.nitrc.org/) and Enhanced
Nathan Kline Institute – Rockland Sample (
http://fcon_1000.projects.nitrc.org/indi/enhanced/).
The Child Mind Institute is currently recruiting an Assistant Research
Scientist whose primary responsibility will be the acquisition and analysis
of fMRI and EEG data. The principle requirement for the position is
sufficient technical skills to independently develop software to implement
novel data analysis strategies and task-based stimulus paradigms. The
incumbent will be expected to perform large-scale neuroimaging analyses
(both fMRI and EEG) with limited supervision. They must be able to: (1)
work effectively in a very collaborative and multidisciplinary environment;
(2) participate in writing scientific manuscripts; and (3) orally present
their work. As their experience grows they will also be expected to
supervise junior researchers.
Responsibilities:
- Implement novel signal processing, machine learning, and statistical
methods in Python and C/C++.
- Perform analysis on very large fMRI, MRI, DTI and EEG datasets using high
performance computing infrastructures.
- Develop and maintain a real-time fMRI system.
- Participate in the design, implementation and performance of human
neuroimaging experiments, both EEG and MRI.
- Write journal publications and orally present research findings.
- Mentor and in some cases supervise junior lab members such as other
research associates and graduate students.
Qualifications:
- MS in Electrical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Computer
Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, or other related scientific
fields.
- Proficient in programming C/C++ and Python.
- Strong skills in using data analysis tools such as Matlab and R.
- Previous experience with MRI and EEG is preferred.
- Knowledge of neuroscience (cognitive and clinical) is a plus.
- Prior research experience (preferred).
Salary and Anticipated Start Date:
Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience/educational
qualifications. Benefits include health, vision, and dental. Applications
and interviews will begin immediately, anticipated start data is April 2,
2013.
