Job summary

University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, CO, is seeking a Neuromodulation Research Data Analyst to provide quantitative, computational, and data management support for a multidisciplinary neuromodulation program. You will process and analyze neuroimaging, behavioral, and clinical data, develop datasets, and contribute to manuscript preparation.

Responsibilities include implementing pipelines for fMRI/MRI data, maintaining data dictionaries, and supporting MRI-informed TMS

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in social/behavioral sciences, physical sciences, public health, healthcare, or a directly related field.
• 2 years of professional experience in research data analysis, quantitative research, neuroimaging, neuroscience research, biomedical data analysis, statistics, data science, or a closely related area relevant to the work assignment.
• An advanced degree (Master's or Doctorate) may be substituted for experience on a year-for-year basis if the degree is in a field of study directly related to the work assignment.

Responsibilities

• Process and analyze neuroimaging, neuromodulation, behavioral, clinical, and other research datasets using established quantitative and computational methods.
• Implement statistical analyses under the guidance of senior scientific personnel and investigators.
• Apply established analysis pipelines to functional and structural MRI data and other neuroscience datasets.
• Generate summary statistics, derived variables, quantitative measures, and analytic datasets for research projects.
• Assist with integration of imaging, TMS, neuronavigation, clinical, behavioral, and other multimodal research data.
• Perform preprocessing and quality assessment of functional and structural MRI data using established software and analysis pipelines.
• Assist with analyses of brain structure, function, connectivity, and other imaging-derived measures relevant to neuromodulation research.
• Support processing and analysis of data used for MRI-informed TMS targeting and neuronavigation.
• Assist with quantitative evaluation of relationships among stimulation targets, imaging measures, treatment parameters, and clinical or behavioral outcomes.
• Identify data quality issues and consult with senior scientific personnel regarding appropriate resolution or exclusion procedures.
• Organize, maintain, and document research datasets according to program standards and approved research protocols.
• Perform routine data quality checks to identify missing, inconsistent, duplicated, out-of-range, or otherwise problematic data.
• Assist with development and maintenance of data dictionaries, variable definitions, file structures, metadata, and other research documentation.
• Reconcile information across research data sources and work with study personnel to resolve discrepancies.
• Support preparation of analysis-ready datasets while maintaining appropriate participant confidentiality and data security.
• Implement, maintain, and troubleshoot established computational workflows for research data processing and analysis.
• Write, modify, test, and document code and scripts using programming and scientific computing tools such as Python, R, MATLAB, shell scripting, or related platforms.
• Use version-control and code-management practices to support reproducibility and collaboration.
• Assist with automation of repetitive data processing, quality-control, and reporting tasks.
• Maintain clear documentation of analytical procedures, software versions, processing parameters, and data transformations.
• Conduct descriptive and inferential statistical analyses under the direction of investigators and senior quantitative personnel.
• Create tables, figures, dashboards, and other visualizations to communicate research findings and data quality metrics.
• Assist with interpretation of statistical and quantitative results in collaboration with the Neuromodulation Research Lead Scientist and study investigators.
• Support exploratory analyses and feasibility assessments for new research questions and grant applications.
• Prepare figures, tables, data summaries, methods documentation, and other quantitative materials for manuscripts, abstracts, presentations, grant applications, progress reports, and scientific meetings.
• Assist investigators and senior scientific personnel with responding to data and analysis questions arising during manuscript and grant preparation.
• Maintain sufficient documentation to support verification and reproducibility of reported research findings.
