• Develop query tools and databases for data mining and assist with documentation and user guides.
• Create and maintain QC protocols to protect data integrity during acquisition, preprocessing, and analysis.
• Implement web-based behavioral questionnaires (e.g., REDCap) and program behavioral tasks (e.g., PsychoPy, Psychophysics Toolbox).
• Provide programming, analysis, and technical support to lab members and study coordinators.
• Assist with computer/network administration related to research data (storage, archiving, permissions).
• Contribute to scientific reporting and manuscript preparation; support presentations and figures.
• Provide logistical/technical support for in-person study visits and train backup staff as needed.

Qualifications

• B.A./B.S. in neuroscience, computer science, engineering, statistics, or a related field required; M.S./Ph.D. preferred.
• Minimum ~2 years relevant technical experience in neuroimaging or research data analysis.
