The Child Mind Institute makes use of innovative MRI-imaging approaches to characterize brain maturation in typical and atypical development in childhood with an explicit focus on understanding the impact of psychiatric illnesses on maturational processes. Additionally, the Child Mind Institute is dedicated to the support of open science projects such as the International Neuroimaging Datasharing Initiative (MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "workforcenow.adp.com" claiming to be http://fcon_1000.projects.nitrc.org/ ) and the Configurable Pipeline for the Analysis of Connectomes (http://fcp-indi.github.com). With this background a pplications are currently being invited for Data Analyst position in the Autism Center. The Data Analyst’s role is to assist and support the acquisition, manipulation, and analysis of data, as well as the reporting results. In particular, our work includes: 1) support the preprocessing of large fMRI dataset in developing population, 2) maintain databases and imaging processing pipeline 3) test and develop new features (e.g., denoising, segmentation, etc.). 4) implement quality assurance protocols for imaging datasets.

Reporting to the Director of the Autism Center (Director: Adriana Di Martino), this is an exempt, full-time positions located in our NYC headquarters.

Responsibilities:

• Implementation, execution and maintenance of fMRI imaging analysis pipelines
• Exploration of novel software packages and problem-solving for issues with current and planned software packages
• Develop graphs, reports, and presentations of project results
• Mentoring of junior research staff in data analysis theory and implementation
• Perform basic statistical analyses for projects and reports

Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in neuroscience, computer science, mathematics, statistics or related areas.
• Extensive neuroimaging experience in fMRI analysis and proficiency with one or more packages (e.g. FreeSurfer, AFNI, FSL, Workbench or SPM)
• Programming experience in one or more languages (e.g., Python, Matlab, R or similar platforms is required).
• Significant prior neuroimaging experience with more imaging and/or simulation modalities (e.g., DTI, EEG, MEG, TMS etc.) is a plus, but not required.
• A passion for the Child Mind Institute mission
