The primary responsibilities of the position include image data acquisition, processing, and analysis. The candidate should have a background in engineering, computer science, neuroimaging, or a related discipline. The candidate would be expected to work with large datasets and therefore should have strong technical skills including scripting and data management. The individual would work with a large team as well as research participants. Prior programming, image processing, and/or physiological measurement experience would be beneficial.
