The Oathes Lab in the Center for the Neuromodulation in Depression and
Stress (CNDS) at the University of Pennsylvania is seeking a full time
Neuroimaging Data Scientist to join our team. This position offers a highly
interdisciplinary research experience, combining approaches from network
science, cognitive neuroscience, and statistics with neuroimaging to better
understand the neurobiology of psychiatric conditions and to develop
personalized brain-based interventions.  The data scientist will work with
principle investigators, post-docs, graduate students, and technical staff
to build and maintain data informatics and processing platforms to support
ongoing multidisciplinary studies. There will also be opportunities to
participate in major methodological and analytic developments in the fusion
of multimodal functional and structural neuroimaging with transcranial
magnetic stimulation (TMS), including processing and analysis frameworks
for interleaved TMS-fMRI data.

The lab is affiliated with the neuroscience graduate program and we have
numerous collaborations across medical disciplines, biostatistics,
psychology and engineering. The TMS/fMRI equipment is highly customized and
state of the art. Our offices are housed in a beautiful historical
renovated space in the center of campus.
