Job Posting Description
At Boston Children’s Hospital, the quality of our care – and our inclusive hospital working environment – lies in the diversity of our people. With patients from local communities and 160 countries around the world, we’re committed to reflecting the spectrum of their cultures, while opening doors of opportunity for our team. Here, different talents pursue common goals. Voices are heard and ideas are shared. Join us, and discover how your unique contributions can change lives. Yours included.
The Computational Neuroscience Laboratory, led by Dr. Caterina Stamoulis, is seeking a highly motivated, full-time Research Assistant I/II. The Research Assistant will work on projects at the intersection of Computational Neuroscience and Data Science, which aim to analyze large functional and diffusion MRI (fMRI and dMRI) datasets with the goal of understanding the development of brain circuits in adolescence and the impact of physiological and environmental factors on their maturation trajectories. This is an excellent opportunity to work at a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School, become involved in Computational Neuroscience research, and learn cutting-edge computational techniques.
Key Responsibilities:
- Independently develop large-scale computer codes, almost exclusively using the software MATLAB, and implement novel algorithms for characterizing brain networks and their developmental trajectories.
- Analyze large volumes of fMRI, structural MRI and diffusion MRI data.
- Develop statistical models for longitudinal analyses.
- Maintain and expand the capabilities of a novel computational platform for large-scale analysis of very large brain datasets.
- Participate as co-author in manuscripts and conference abstracts.
Minimum Qualifications
Education:
- Bachelor of Science in degree in Neuroscience, Biological/Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering (with a focus on Signal Processing) or Physics.
- Coursework in computational Neuroscience (if pursuing a degree in Neuroscience).
- If not a Neuroscience graduate, basic coursework in Neuroscience.
Experience:
- Experience in MATLAB programming and ability to independently write codes is required.
- At least 1 year of research experience.
- Experience in analysis of human brain data is heavily preferred.
- Experience in fMRI data processing is preferred.
The posted pay range is Boston Children’s reasonable and good-faith expectation for this pay at the time of posting.
Any base pay offer provided depends on skills, experience, education, certifications, and a variety of other job-related factors. Base pay is one part of a comprehensive benefits package that includes flexible schedules, affordable health, vision and dental insurance, child care and student loan subsidies, generous levels of time off, 403(b) Retirement Savings plan, Pension, Tuition and certain License and Certification Reimbursement, cell phone plan discounts and discounted rates on T-passes. Experience the benefits of passion and teamwork.
