  • Communicate well in a multi-institutional team environment, where individuals from multiple backgrounds (in Neuroscience, Computer Science, and Engineering) work together to characterize the adolescent brain using novel computational tools.
  • Maintain and expand the capabilities of a novel computational platform for large-scale analysis of very large brain datasets.
  • Participate as co-author in manuscripts and conference abstracts.
To qualify, you must have:
  • Bachelor of Science in degree in Neuroscience, Biological/Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering (with a focus on Signal Processing) or Physics.
