The University of Minnesota Informatics Institute (UMII) <https://research.umn.edu/units/umii> seeks a skilled, staff scientist to serve the MR Neuroimaging research community at the University of Minnesota. The successful candidate is expected to: (1) carry out consultations with researchers across the University and serve in the role of a staff scientist who provides technical assistance across multiple research groups; (2) provide technical and analytic support in designing and supporting neuroimaging analysis pipelines that will be run on platforms of the Minnesota Supercomputing Institute (MSI); (3) appropriately document work so that researchers are able to prepare grants, research papers and reports based on the analysis; (4) simultaneously support different versions of analysis tools that might require different libraries and operating system versions; (5) develop new computational environments, such as Docker, for major neuroimaging analysis platforms (AFNI, FSL, etc.) in the HPC environment at MSI; and (6) build computational workflows that scale and work across a broad range of file system storage.
The successful candidate will join a growing group of imaging analysts in the University of Minnesota Informatics Institute. The Imaging Informatics Manager at the University of Minnesota Informatics Institute will serve as the supervisor. On a daily basis, the analyst will work closely with MR neuroimaging researchers, and staff at the Minnesota Supercomputing Institute.
