The Dartmouth Presidential Cluster on Breaking the Neural Code is seeking a dedicated Research Scientist to contribute to the understanding of the computational and neurophysiological foundations of human behavior and health. This position is integral to our mission of combining large-scale data analyses with innovative scientific studies in brain imaging, electrophysiology, and neuromodulation. The successful candidate will engage in advanced research that aims to develop next-generation models and tools for human neuroscience, focusing on the interplay between multimodal brain data and various psychological and biological characteristics. In this role, the Research Scientist will lead projects that model relationships among multimodal brain data and affective/motivational, cognitive, genetic/genomic, and clinical characteristics using extensive datasets such as the UK Biobank, ABCD, HCP, ROS-MAP, and A2CPS projects. The candidate will also integrate findings from these studies with new research linking neuroimaging, neuromodulation, and social and emotional functions. A significant aspect of the role involves leading publications on these topics and transitioning towards leading a collaborative or independent research program. The position is divided into two key areas: Research (70%) and Computing and Data Management (30%). In the research component, the scientist will conduct advanced data analyses, collaborate with Cluster-associated researchers, and contribute to the publication of scientific papers. The computing aspect involves managing large datasets, developing documentation on research computing practices, and facilitating the integration of new processing techniques into existing pipelines. The appointment rank will be determined based on the candidate's experience and the scope of initial responsibilities.
