The Gabbay Laboratory, located within the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine has an exciting opportunity for a full-time Data Analyst to work onsite on the UHealth campus. This position will focus on processing human neuroimaging datasets, including anatomical and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), MR spectroscopy, and related biological measures. The primary responsibility for this role will be to analyze neuroimaging data from multiple ongoing and recently concluded research projects; additional tasks will entail assisting with MRI data collection and manuscript drafting. The lab is dedicated to the study and treatment of mood, anxiety, and substance use disorders in high-risk populations (e.g. adolescents, people living with HIV, cannabis users) using innovative neuroimaging and immunological methodologies. The neuroimaging program features high-resolution data acquisition and analysis techniques modeled on the Human Connectome Project (HCP) and is committed to the highest standards for magnetic resonance imaging. The lab is funded by four ongoing NIH R01 neuroimaging studies (R01MH120601, R01DA054885, R01MH128878, and R01MH131207) and several smaller grants, providing unparalleled funding for active and exploratory studies.
