cognitive and affective studies that focus on executive function, emotion
regulation, stress responsivity, reward processing, and aging on neural
circuitry. Populations of interest include healthy adults, adults with or
at risk for developing psychopathology, and neurological disorders.
Opportunities to develop and apply novel data analysis techniques, to
co-author research publications, and to assist with similar studies in
children through a partnership with Stanford University are also available.

Primary Responsibilities:
Developing software/scripts to implement algorithms for data quality
control, preprocessing, analysis, and management.
Developing and implementing statistical/mathematical modeling (e.g.,
machine learning algorithms) to characterize high-dimensional datasets.
Assisting with analyzing neuroimaging research data using
neuroimaging-specific programs and/or software (e.g., FSL, Freesurfer, SPM,
AFNI).

Qualifications:
BA/BS in a relevant field by the time of appointment.
Proficiency in programming (e.g., Matlab, Python, C/C++, java) and shell
scripting.
Proficiency with Linux OS and file system.
Experience with any of the following: signal and image processing, machine
learning, statistical/mathematical modeling.
Excellent organizational and interpersonal communication skills are
required.
Strong background in biomedical engineering, computer science, applied
mathematics, statistics, computational neuroscience, quantitative
psychology, or related subjects.
Experience in neuroimaging data analysis is desired.
A two-year commitment is required.

This is a full-time position with a competitive salary and benefits. To
apply, send a CV, a cover letter stating your research interests and career
goals, and contact information for three references to swarren at paloaltou.edu.
Review of applications will begin immediately.
