Database Administrator
About The Position
The ALBA Language Neurobiology laboratory, directed by Dr. Maria Luisa Gorno Tempini, studies how language is organized into brain networks across the lifespan. The ALBA Language Neurobiology laboratory is part of the UCSF Memory and Aging Center, an NIA-designated Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center working to translate research science into improved diagnosis and care for people with dementia due to Alzheimer's disease and related diseases, as well as to find a treatment or prevention. The ALBA team consists of clinicians, scientists, and engineers with expertise in behavioral neurology, cognitive neuroscience, speech-language pathology, neurodevelopment and advanced neuroimaging techniques. Our group studies how language skills and brain regions are impacted by neurological conditions and how they reorganize in response. This Data Analyst position is focused on Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA), which is a neurodegenerative syndrome in which communication abilities become progressively impaired. We aim to identify sensitive linguistic, cognitive, motor or neuroimaging biomarkers of this syndrome. We use multimodal imaging to predict longitudinal disease progression in the brain and track the progression of symptoms.
