Job Title: Senior Researcher – Brain Imaging Data

Department: Medicine | Psychiatry

The Senior Researcher designs and conducts independent complex experimental research in a foundational (basic) biological/health science research laboratory with a psychiatric neuroimaging and genetics research program, in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health. Expected responsibilities include developing and investigating neuroimaging models of symptoms and response to various treatments across diagnostic groups; applying current analysis techniques to the analysis of behavioral, neurophysiological, and genetic data in combinations; interpreting and evaluating research data; working with collaborative multi-site teams in the analysis of large-scale data collections; preparing manuscripts, articles, reports and abstracts for publication in peer-reviewed journals; attending and presenting results at national and international scientific conferences, seminars, and workshops; collaboratively developing and contributing to grant proposals to obtain extramural funding to support research; developing and implementing new research projects; directing and training other research staff, participating in laboratory meetings and project meetings.  Some mentoring of other research personnel may be available.

Minimum Education Required: Doctorate (Academic) in psychology, biology, engineering, computer science, or a relevant field. 

Required Qualifications

The candidate will be analyzing data as part of their research work and must be capable of independently using some neuroimaging analysis pipelines (for example, fmriprep, SPM, FSL), ideally for structural, resting state, task-based analyses (the more imaging modalities the candidate has worked with, the better).  The ability to work in a Linux environment is a must. Experience with multivariate analyses of functional MRI data or combined analysis of imaging and other datatypes such as EEG, EMA, PET, genetics is a strength. An interest in the integration of genetic data with neuroimaging and behavioral data within clinical populations is ideal.  Clinical experience is not required but would be a strength. The candidate will also be writing in support of the research program, and must be capable of developing first author papers on neuroimaging results (as demonstrated by previous publications).

Requires successful completion of a background check; qualified candidates may be asked to complete a pre-employment physical, including a drug screen.

We believe that the university should be a place where people can work and learn together in a safe environment, free of violence, harassment, discrimination, exploitation, or intimidation. As such, finalists for any faculty position that carries tenure must sign an authorization and disclosure form, which will allow current or prior employer(s) to share information to the University regarding any findings of employment-related misconduct or disciplinary proceedings against a candidate and/or any pending investigations related to alleged misconduct. Such information shall include findings and pending investigations with respect to sexual harassment, violence, or harassment; research misconduct; financial fraud or misconduct; foreign influence violations, grant misuse or misconduct; and/or any other type of finding or pending investigation relating to a candidate’s employer’s policies and rules governing faculty conduct that may reasonably be expected to affect a candidate’s appointment. If the University becomes aware of any past finding of misconduct or pending investigations that were not disclosed, Ohio State will treat that as a serious omission and reserves the right to rescind an offer or terminate employment.

Final candidates are subject to successful completion of a background check.  A drug screen or physical may be required during the post offer process.
