About The Position

The University of Pennsylvania, a world-renowned Ivy League institution and the largest private employer in Philadelphia, offers a unique working environment on a beautiful urban campus. This position is within the Perelman School of Medicine, one of the oldest and finest medical schools in the United States, known for its leadership in education, research, and innovation. The Data Analyst will work under the guidance of Investigator Aris Sotiras, PhD, in the Center for Biomedical Image Computing and Analytics (CBICA). The role primarily involves testing, validating, and extending advanced image processing algorithms, preparing and applying processing pipelines on magnetic resonance brain imaging datasets, including multi-modal MRI and PET data. The analyst will also be responsible for collecting, organizing, and performing quality control on quantitative and imaging results, and communicating these findings with clinical collaborators. This position provides an opportunity to gain experience with advanced neuroimaging processing techniques and apply them to the study of normal and pathological brain function. For a Data Analyst D, the role entails a higher degree of independence, leading the design, implementation, and optimization of advanced data analysis and image processing workflows, developing complex computational pipelines, integrating multi-modal imaging and clinical datasets, and contributing to methodological innovation. Data Analyst D will also take a leading role in study design, data modeling, interpretation of results, mentor junior analysts, and contribute to grant proposals and manuscripts.
