Postdoctoral Fellow: Center for Open Neuroscience

Job description

Description The Center for Open Neuroscience (CON ) in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Dartmouth College invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher to advance the science of neuroscience data management, standardization, and reproducible workflows. This is a research-focused position at the intersection of neuroinformatics, data science, and open standards development -- an opportunity to shape how the field organizes, shares, and reuses its data. The postdoctoral researcher will lead efforts to curate and wrangle neuroimaging and neurophysiology datasets from the Dartmouth Brain Imaging Center and major public archives (DANDI, EMBER, OpenNeuro), converting raw acquisitions into standards-compliant formats and developing best practices for data quality assurance. A core part of the role involves research contributions to the development and refinement of community data standards -- the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS), Neurodata Without Borders (NWB), Hierarchical Event Descriptors (HED), and related specifications -- as well as designing and evaluating reproducible analysis workflows built on versioned data management tools such as DataLad.
