EEG data sharing coordinator

DESCRIPTION

Under direct supervision of project Co-PIs, the EEG data sharing coordinator conducts the archiving and analysis of EEG data using the EEGLAB environment and the NEMAR.org gateway to high-performance computing.

Accurately gathers and enters specialized data into the database from data holders at several institutions in preparation for archiving and analysis. Works with data holders to add innovative annotations of events occurring during neuroimaging experiments using the system of Hierarchical Event Descriptors (HED). Ensures the proper formatting and archiving of data are implemented at all times. Ensures integrity of research files and works with research unit IT staff on data format or storage issues.

Participates in evaluating data and providing recommendations as needed. Annotate and archive existing datasets into the NEMAR database and ensure data is documented in the BIDS and HED formats and maintains compliance with the University's procedures.

This is a unique position where you will get to work with leaders in the field of EEG research methods and apply these methods to thousands of subjects, potentially leading to groundbreaking discoveries. This is also a position that can evolve over time based on the applicant skillset and interest, and lead to Ph.D. for applicants who do not have one. The title of the job can be different based on the person qualification and experience.

QUALIFICATIONS
  • Master or Ph.D. degree in Cognitive Neuroscience, computer science, physics or related field and two (2) years of experience OR - an equivalent combination of education and laboratory work experience.
  • Experience with EEG is required.
  • Acquired ability to perform research analysis duties. Ability to acquire knowledge of the research process and designs.
  • Acquired statistical analysis, systems programming, and database design skills to perform research analysis duties. Ability to acquire database design skills to perform research annotation and analysis duties. Knowledge of EEG data collection apparatus, and MATLAB.
  • Basic consultation and communication skills. Ability to effectively communicate data and statistics to others in team meetings reports, and abstracts. Ability to understand research designs as communicated by data holders.
  • Understanding of and demonstrated ability to follow IRB protocols.
