Data Analytics Science Analyst

The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is seeking a full-time Neuroimaging Data Analyst for a series of large-scale projects aimed at understanding how brain structure and function relates to neuropsychiatric diseases and their treatments.

The Data Analyst will work in an interdisciplinary group of faculty conducting translational human neuroscience research with healthy individuals and clinical populations. Our projects are multi-method and involve neuroimaging (functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging/MRI and positron emission tomography/PET), device-based neuromodulation, psychophysiology (i.e., electroencephalography, electromyography, electrodermal activity assessment), and behavioral and clinical methods, including pharmaco-challenge studies and clinical trials.

MINIMUM REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience. Advanced degree in relevant field preferred. 4 years of relevant experience or equivalent required. 4-8 years of relevant experience preferred.

75% Data Analysis: Provide conventional and advanced programming and analysis support for lab members. Familiarity beyond basic (e.g., GLM/univariate) analyses using multivariate, machine learning, connectomic approaches is a plus. Familiarity with EEG / event-related potentials and EMG analyses is also a plus.

10% Data Management: Implement and support processing pipelines/scripts for multimodal neuroimaging analysis, including resting-state and task-based fMRI, diffusion weighted/tensor imaging/tractography, and other structural/morphometric/volumetric data; Coordinate general lab computer/network administration (including data management and archiving).

5% Data Quality: Monitor newly acquired neuroimaging and behavioral data for completeness and develop an organized storage system; Maintain quality control of neuroimaging data by developing, implementing, and overseeing data entry and quality control protocols.

5% Task and Data Collection Programing: Implement neuroimaging tasks with presentation software (e.g., Presentation, EPrime, PsychoPy) and develop optimal neuroimaging sequences at MRI and PET scanners.

5% Data Presentation: Assist with presenting description of methods and results including figures in the writing, submitting and revising scientific reports for poster and talk presentation and publication.
