The Radiology Department is hiring for a Staff Research Associate (SRA). The SRA will work with state-of-the-art 3T and 7T research MRI scanners, as part of prospective cross-sectional and longitudinal clinical research studies with correlation to genomics and neurocognitive testing. The SRA will have the opportunity to work closely with physicians, surgeons, imaging scientists and engineers, as well as cognitive neuroscientists. The focus of the work will be on acquiring, analyzing, and integrating advanced MR imaging data on patients with neuropsychiatric diseases and/or brain injury as well as control volunteers, including fMRI and diffusion tractography. The emphasis will be on artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) analysis of large imaging datasets using the latest cloud-based and hybrid neuroinformatics platforms. The knowledge and skills learned provide excellent preparation for medical school or for graduate school in neuroscience or psychology or for industry positions in AI/ML applied to Big Data. DUTIES & ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS Identify the functions or tasks that employees in the job perform. The essential functions should state the purpose of the work and the results to be accomplished, rather than how the function is performed. Of the tasks listed, what percentage of time is devoted to each? The more time employees spend on a function, the more likely it is that the function is essential. Generally, include those functions that account for 10% or more of the work, i.e., key items that contribute significantly to the achievement of the job. The functions should add up to 100%.
