At Boston Children’s Hospital, the quality of our care – and our inclusive hospital working environment – lies in the diversity of our people. With patients from local communities and 160 countries around the world, we’re committed to reflecting the spectrum of their cultures, while opening doors of opportunity for our team. Here, different talents pursue common goals. Voices are heard and ideas are shared. Join us, and discover how your unique contributions can change lives. Yours included. The Computational Neuroscience Laboratory, led by Dr. Caterina Stamoulis, is seeking a highly motivated, full-time Research Assistant I/II. The Research Assistant will work on projects at the intersection of Computational Neuroscience and Data Science, which aim to analyze large functional and diffusion MRI (fMRI and dMRI) datasets with the goal of understanding the development of brain circuits in adolescence and the impact of physiological and environmental factors on their maturation trajectories. This is an excellent opportunity to work at a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School, become involved in Computational Neuroscience research, and learn cutting-edge computational techniques.
