About The Position

The University of Pennsylvania, a world-renowned leader in education, research, and innovation and the largest private employer in Philadelphia, is seeking a Data Analyst. This historic, Ivy League school consistently ranks among the top 10 universities in the annual U.S. News & World Report survey. Penn has 12 highly-regarded schools that provide opportunities for undergraduate, graduate and continuing education, all influenced by Penn’s distinctive interdisciplinary approach to scholarship and learning. As an employer, Penn was named one of America’s Best Large Employers in 2023 by Forbes. The Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, the oldest and one of the finest medical schools in the United States, is where this position is located. The Data Analyst will work under the guidance of an investigator in the Center for Biomedical Image Computing and Analytics (CBICA), Aris Sotiras, PhD. The role involves testing, validating, and extending advanced image processing algorithms, preparing and extending processing pipelines, and applying these pipelines on magnetic resonance brain imaging datasets from various studies involving multi-modal MRI and PET data. The analyst will collect and organize final quantitative and imaging results, perform quality control, and communicate with clinical collaborators for dissemination and discussion of results. This position offers the opportunity to gain experience using advanced neuroimaging processing techniques and apply these methods in the study of normal and pathological brain function.
