We are seeking two postdoctoral computational/data scientists with a PhD in computer science, electrical or biomedical engineering, neuroscience, statistics, or related fields to apply for positions in the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The projects cover a broad array of neuroinformatics.
- Datamining of gene-behavior-anatomy relationships - Architecting next generation dataflow systems - Reproducible research platforms and applications - Nonlinear image and other high-dimensional registration - Predictive analytics in mental health - Linked data platforms
Working on these projects will involve collaboration partners within and across regional and international institutions. Candidates are expected to develop algorithms and prototype ideas, contribute to opensource tools, and perform software engineering, testing, and validation. Candidates will have the opportunity to mentor undergraduate and graduate students, and contribute to datascience at MIT.
The ideal candidates will have strong computational skills, enjoy collaborating, and be able to adapt to and adopt a diverse set of technologies. A documented PhD in computer science, electrical or biomedical engineering, neuroscience, statistics, or related field is required before starting this position. Positions are available for one year, with a possibility of yearly extension depending on performance and funding.
