Neuroimaging Analysis Specialist
The Functional MRI Laboratory (http://fmri.research.umich.edu/) is an interdisciplinary research unit founded in 2001 and organized under the University of Michigan Office of Research. We are dedicated to supporting research on the structures and functions of the brain that underlie cognitive and affective processes, and research on functional MRI and associated research tools. The Laboratory's mission is to maintain an environment that will enhance the excellence of research using fMRI and associated technologies by providing a well-equipped physical facility and appropriate intellectual support services for investigators.
The primary role of this position will be to work with individual investigators who use the fMRI facility to process and analyze their data. These investigators have varying levels of expertise with analysis protocols, so the successful candidate will be working most often with relatively novice users of fMRI to develop design and analysis protocols, and sometimes with more experienced investigators to conduct advanced analyses. Examples of the responsibilities of the successful candidate include:
* Helping to create effective data acquisition designs as well as data processing and analysis protocols once the data are collected
* Working with investigators to tailor their analyses to the research questions under investigation
* Participating with other Lab members to train investigators in analysis methods tailored to their research programs
* Participating with other Lab members in offering the annual fMRI training course
* Joining forces with staff members from the Center for Statistical Consulting and Research to offer workshops on issues concerning MRI and fMRI data analysis
* Developing new analysis tools that are tailored to ongoing research protocols
* Working with members of the Lab and the fMRI Methods Core to coordinate data analysis protocols across campus
* Organize and/or provide training sessions to the user community on Freesurfer, FSL, and other analysis software, as needed
Select qualifications
* Master’s or Ph.D. strongly preferred in computer science, biostatistics with neuroimaging emphasis, or related field
* Experience working with brain imaging data - specifically MRI and/or Functional MRI
* Two or more years of programming experience (specifically, shell scripting, Matlab and Python)
