Postdoctoral Scholar – Research Associate
The Data Archive for the Brain Initiative (DABI) is a platform that is being developed of networked and centralized web-accessible data archives to capture, store, and curate data related to the BRAIN Initiative proposals that collect invasive human neurophysiological data and make them broadly available and accessible to the widest scientific community for furthering neuroscience research. This postdoc will work to create an informatics system to provide a data repository platform that facilitates data quality control, harmonization, aggregation, search, visualization, integrated processing, download, and training. This postdoc will prepare data de-identification tools and data quality assessments, develop data mapping tools, create user-friendly interfaces for data and support/feedback website, acquire data from participating sites, establish multi-center data review and assessment system, and use artifact removal tools. Furthermore, this postdoc will define data standards and collect common data models, test large datasets on the platform, provide spatial normalization of data and creation of subject cohorts, link previously developed analytic tools to the platform, and provide workflows to participating sites and investigators.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Ph.D. in informatics, bioinformatics, or a related area
- Strong research skills
- Ability to work independently
- Strong skills working with big data and databases
- Experience with multimodal data, including neuroimaging, EEG, and behavioral/clinical data
- Good communication skills
- High level of motivation
- Effective problem solving/critical thinking skills
- Expertise in programming
- Strong publication record
