Description:

The Dartmouth Presidential Cluster on Breaking the Neural Code invites applications for a staff Research Scientist. The Cluster is dedicated to the computational and neurophysiological underpinnings of human behavior and health. Our goal is to combine analyses of large-scale datasets with novel scientific studies of brain imaging, electrophysiology, and neuromodulation to deliver next-generation models and tools for human neuroscience. 

We seek a motivated, high-performing scientist with strong interests in analytics and human neuroscience to join our team. Competitive candidates will possess strong data science and computational skills and a desire and ability to work as part of collaborative, multidisciplinary research teams. The successful candidate will:

(a) lead projects modeling relationships among multimodal brain data and affective/motivational, cognitive, genetic/genomic, and clinical characteristics in large-scale datasets (e.g., the UK Biobank, ABCD, HCP, ROS-MAP, and A2CPS projects);

(b) integrate models and findings from these studies with new studies linking neuroimaging, neuromodulation, and social and emotional function;

(c) lead publications on these topics; and

(d) transition to leading a collaborative and/or independent research program on related topics.

Key Accountabilities:

Research (70%)

  • Lead advanced data analyses (e.g., machine learning and deep learning) in collaboration with Cluster-associated researchers
  • Lead publication of scientific papers
  • Assist in preparation of collaborative manuscripts and co-author manuscripts
  • Actively develop skills, knowledge, and abilities to maintain knowledge of best practices in neuroimaging data processing and analysis.
  • Write and lead research grants as Principal Investigator, with support

Computing and Data Management (30%)

  • Maintain and manage storage of large datasets on RC high-performance computing array and facilitate access for authorized researchers
  • Develop and maintain documentation on Research Computing use, pipelines, pathways, and best practices
  • Facilitates availability of specialized software and analysis tools on RC systems
  • Assist collaborating researchers with integration of new processing and analysis techniques into data processing and analysis pipelines
  • Identify opportunities for improvements and available datasets for collaborative use, and anticipate future data storage needs

Qualifications:

Research Scientists have several ranks and promotion opportunities. The appointment rank will be determined according to experience and the scope of initial responsibilities.

Required Qualifications

  • Ph.D. in relevant technical field (computer science, engineering, physics, mathematics, neuroscience)
  • Proficient in programming languages relevant to neuroimaging (e.g., bash, python, R, Matlab)
  • Proficient in machine learning and/or deep learning tools (e.g., scikit-learn, tensorflow, pytorch)
  • Proficiency in developing and deploying containerized applications (e.g., Docker, Singularity)
  • Proficiency in deploying jobs on cloud compute platforms (e.g., AWS) and high-performance computing (e.g., SLURM)
  • Experience with human neuroimaging data analysis with relevant software (e.g., FSL, SPM, ANFI, FreeSurfer) and standards (BIDS)

Preferred Qualifications

  • 4 years of relevant development/laboratory/ programming experience
  • Portfolio of analytic/software projects related to neuroimaging and data science (e.g., on Github)
  • First-author publications in data science and neuroimaging
