Data Analyst job description

The work involves testing, validating and extending advanced image processing algorithms, preparing and extending processing pipelines, and applying these pipelines on magnetic resonance brain imaging datasets from various studies involving multi-modal MRI and PET data. Demonstrated experience in training and deploying deep learning models for image and/or data analysis projects is a highly desirable skill for this role. The data analyst will collect and organize final quantitative and imaging results,
perform quality control on the results, and communicate with clinical collaborators for the dissemination and discussion of the results. This position offers the opportunity to gain experience using advanced neuroimaging processing techniques and to apply these methods in the study of normal and pathological brain function.

The Data Analyst D will operate with a higher degree of independence and will lead the design, implementation, and optimization of advanced data analysis and image processing workflows. This role involves developing and deploying complex computational pipelines, integrating multi-modal imaging and clinical datasets, and contributing to methodological innovation in neuroimaging and biomedical data science.

The analyst will take a leading role in study design, data modeling, and interpretation of results, working closely with investigators and clinical collaborators. They may mentor junior analysts, contribute to grant proposals and manuscripts, and drive the adoption of best practices for reproducible and scalable data analysis.

The job pay range encompasses the full range of employees from new hires to the salaries of Penn employees with many years of experience and seniority and is not a precise indicator of salaries of new hires when looking at the top end.
