Job Description:

Pennington Biomedical Research Center, a world-renowned academic research institute of Louisiana State University, is seeking a Clinical Data Analyst in the Brain and Metabolism Imaging laboratory. The Clinical Data Analyst in the Brain and Metabolism Imaging laboratory will support research efforts by managing and organizing biomedical imaging datasets. The Data Analyst provides technical support for computational neuroscience research through the use of automated neuroimaging pipelines, use of Linux workstations and HPC environments, and management of research computing infrastructure.

This position involves coordinating the acquisition, storage, and processing of imaging data such as MRI and PET scans, as well as developing and maintaining pipelines for MRI analysis. The Data Analyst will utilize data management tools to assist investigators in retrieving, managing, and sharing imaging data across multiple research projects and collaborating institutions.
*** Major Responsibilities
**** Develop, maintain, and optimize automated neuroimaging processing pipelines for multimodal MRI datasets using Python, MATLAB, Bash, and neuroimaging software including Free Surfer, FSL, ANTs, and SPM.
* Manage Linux workstations and high-performance computing (HPC) environments, including software installation, system configuration, troubleshooting, performance optimization, and job scheduling.
* Manage Linux user accounts, groups, file system permissions, shared storage, and access controls to ensure secure, reliable, and efficient utilization of research computing resources.
* Processes MRI scans through the creation, implementation, and maintenance of imaging analysis pipelines.
* Identifies and troubleshoots processing errors to ensure data accuracy and workflow efficiency.
* Prepares presentation materials, including PowerPoint slides and Excel spreadsheets, to summarize study progress and findings.
* Tracks data collection and imaging completion across study participants to ensure timely and accurate dataset updates.
* Collaborates with undergraduate students, study staff, doctoral researchers, principal investigators (PIs), and postdoctoral fellows across multiple study sites to coordinate and maintain data integrity.
* Compiles imaging metrics, statistics,…
