The Position We are looking for an outstanding computational neuroscientist with expertise in neuro-imaging analysis to join our mission to identify novel therapies for our patients by applying computational analysis approaches to multi-modal data. As a Principal / Senior Scientist in the global Computational Biology and Digital Sciences (gCBDS) department, you will be working in close collaboration with research and translational scientists in the Neuroscience & Mental Health therapeutic area identifying treatments for precision psychiatry and related brain indications using state-of-the-art computational methods to drive patient segmentation, target identification and ultimately delivering novel therapies for our patients. Embedded in Boehringer Ingelheim's growing gCBDS department, you will have an impact on Research & Development, actively contributing to the discovery of breakthrough therapies that will increase human health. This position is part time eligible with 80%. Tasks & responsibilities - In your new role you will identify circuit-based treatment targets, patient stratification, and treatment response biomarkers for precision psychiatry. - In addition, you will apply state-of-the-art methods, including machine learning methods, to integrate fMRI data with other data modalities, such as task, questionnaire, electronic health records, and transcriptomics data for target identification, patient stratification, and treatment response. - In interdisciplinary teams, you will contribute to and implement data-driven solutions during all research phases - from experimental design to downstream analyses - using state-of-the-art infrastructure in cluster computing and cloud-based environments. - To ensure best practices for FAIR data you will work in close collaboration with the Data & Infrastructure team in gCBDS. - Furthermore, you will be presenting analysis strategies and results to project team members and governance boards and senior stakeholders. Additional tasks & responsibilities for the Principal Scientist position - As Principal Scientist you will develop and implement long-term research strategies that align with the department's goals and objectives, ensuring the continuous advancement of precision psychiatry. - In addition, you will foster and maintain collaborations with internal and external research departments, industry partners, and academic organizations to drive innovation and facilitate the exchange of knowledge. Requirements - Ph.D. or equivalent in neuroscience, data science, engineering, physics, mathematics, computer science, psychological or biological/life sciences with several years of experience in processing and analyses of human functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data using neuroimaging tools such as FSL, SPM, or AFNI - First experience in data analysis and machine-learning techniques methods relevant to fMRI imaging data and with other imaging methods (e.g. PET, fUS) or modalities (EEG, MEG) is desirable - Proficiency in Python or equivalent coding language - Competency in reproducible research, including the use of repositories, pipelines, and FAIR data - Fluency in English, both written and spoken Additional requirements for the Principal Scientist position - Several years of industry experience with know-how in integration of fMRI with other data modalities - Experience in coordinating and supervising of across function projects, matrix team or supervising external projects (e.g., academic collaborations, CRO projects) Ready to contact us?
