MRI Data Programmer/Analyst Position at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research

We are seeking a highly motivated imaging programmer/analyst to work on MRI processing pipelines and data analyses at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research (LIBR). The successful candidate will have two areas of responsibility: 1) programming and maintaining multimodal imaging processing pipelines (raw data standardization, preprocessing, and postprocessing), and 2) analyzing and interpreting high-dimensional multimodal MRI neuroimaging data using both standard and novel methods. This is an exciting opportunity to work on cutting-edge research and to contribute to the development of new methods for analyzing and interpreting these data to gain insights into causes of psychiatric conditions

The graduate level programmer/analyst will work to support the institute with on-demand imaging processing, as well as large scale population imaging data analytics led by the Population Neuroscience and Genetics Center at LIBR. This will require high familiarity with end-to-end process of MRI analysis, from acquisition, processing, quality controls and feature extraction to statistical inference. We strongly prefer a candidate who has prior experience analyzing and interpreting task-based fMRI as well as imaging data harmonization and version-controlled pipeline/data management across multiple imaging studies.

This is an on-site position in Tulsa OK.

KEY Responsibilities:

  • Maintain and manage MRI/fMRI image data preprocessing pipelines
  • Develop and implement MRI data quality control programs and procedures
  • Provide consultation on MRI imaging data analytics
  • Contribute to scientific publications and presentations
  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams of researchers, clinicians, and technical staff

Qualifications

  • PhD or MS in Neuroscience, Computer Science, Bioengineering, or related field
  • Extensive experience in neuroimaging analysis
  • Experience in imaging data engineering
  • Pipeline management across multiple programming languages, including Python, LINUX shell, MATLAB, R programming, and AFNI

Personal qualifications

  • Excellent collaborative, communication, and presentation skills
  • Scientifically self-motivated and creative
  • Ability to work both independently and in structured groups
  • Open-minded and analytical personality
