The Brain Dynamics Lab (BDL) within the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences is seeking a Research Data Analyst 1 to manage and analyze large amounts of information, typically technical or scientific in nature, independently with minimal supervision. The candidate will help in the development and maintenance of our toolboxes and processing pipelines. This person will interface with neuroimaging researchers, clinicians, and computational researchers to develop and scale up our current data processing pipelines. The position provides the opportunity for the applicant to participate in state-of-the-art data processing pipeline development within a multi-disciplinary team, whose goal is to develop computational methods for anchoring psychiatric diagnosis into spatiotemporal features of the brain.
The BDL is a computational neuropsychiatry lab dedicated to developing computational methods for a better understanding of individual differences in brain functioning in healthy and patient populations. For more information about the lab please visit http://bdl.stanford.edu
