A Neuroimaging Research Associate is a professional who supports and conducts research involving brain imaging techniques such as MRI, fMRI, PET, or CT scans. Their work typically involves recruiting participants, collecting and analyzing neuroimaging data, and assisting in the interpretation of results to advance understanding of brain structure and function. They often collaborate with neuroscientists, clinicians, and other research staff to ensure studies are conducted according to protocol and ethical guidelines. This role may also involve maintaining imaging equipment and preparing reports or publications based on research findings.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a neuroimaging research associate?

To thrive as a Neuroimaging Research Associate, you need a solid background in neuroscience, psychology, or related fields, often supported by a relevant graduate degree and experience with neuroimaging methodologies. Familiarity with MRI, fMRI, or PET scanners, as well as proficiency in data analysis software like SPM, FSL, or MATLAB, is typically required. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help you interpret complex data and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams. These skills and qualifications are essential to ensure accurate research findings and successful project outcomes in a highly technical and collaborative environment.

What are some common challenges faced by neuroimaging research associates when working with MRI or fMRI data, and how are these typically addressed?

Neuroimaging Research Associates often encounter challenges such as managing large, complex MRI or fMRI datasets and ensuring data quality while minimizing artifacts. Addressing these issues typically involves rigorous data preprocessing, careful protocol adherence during scans, and collaboration with MRI technologists and data analysts. Additionally, associates must stay updated on the latest software tools and statistical methods to ensure accurate and reliable results, often requiring regular training and teamwork within multidisciplinary research groups.

Job description

Post Doc Research Associate
City: West Lafayette
Job Description:
Postdoctoral Research Associate in Neuroscience
The Attention, Arousal, & Aging (AAA) Lab at Purdue University is recruiting a post-doctoral scholar to join a collaborative research program under the supervision of Principal Investigator, Dr. Andy Kim. Research in the AAA Lab focuses on developing and evaluating interventions to improve cognitive aging and outcomes associated with neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's disease). The successful candidate will contribute to studies that identify mechanisms that accelerate cognitive aging, develop novel interventions to improve cognition, and identify cognitive/behavioral biomarkers associated with increased risk of transitioning to prodromal stages of Alzheimer's disease (e.g., mild cognitive impairment). More information about the AAA Lab can be found at the AAA Lab website. Competitive applicants will have a background in neuroscience or cognitive psychology, as well as expertise in one or more of the following areas: electroencephalography data collection and analyses, MRI data collection and analyses, and multivariate/multimodal statistical approaches.
The post-doctoral scholar will have opportunities to conduct studies with behavioral, eye tracking, EEG, MRI, and physiology data, lead peer-reviewed publications, present at conferences, mentor undergraduate and graduate researchers, as well as apply for external funding (e.g., F32, K99/R00), if desired. Candidates will be joining a growing lab that has substantial opportunities to contribute novel ideas and pilot research directions. The candidate will also participate in professional development activities offered through the College of Health and Human Sciences and receive individualized mentorship for career goals.
This is a full-time, 40-hour per week appointment. Funding is guaranteed for up to two years, contingent upon satisfactory performance during the first year. Continued employment beyond two years may be possible, subject to funding availability. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. The anticipated start date may begin as early as September 1, 2026.
Required Qualifications
Applicants must
  • Hold a Ph.D. in psychological sciences, neuroscience, gerontology, or a closely related field.
  • Demonstrate strong oral and written scientific communication skills
  • Be able to work effectively and collaboratively as part of a research team
  • Possess excellent organizational and time-management skills, with careful attention to accuracy and detail
  • Have clear career goals and benchmarks
  • Have experience with collecting high-quality EEG (resting state, ERP) and/or MRI (structural, fMRI) data in addition to data analysis (e.g., FieldTrip, EEGLAB, AFNI, SPM)
  • Be able to work in person on Purdue University's main campus in West Lafayette, Indiana

Preferred Experience
  • Experience working with adult participants across the lifespan (adults aged 18-90 years old)
  • Experience with eye tracking and pupillometry data (EyeLink 1000)
  • Experience with randomized clinical trials
  • Programming behavioral and neuroimaging experiments using MATLAB/Psychtoolbox
  • Multivariate, longitudinal, or multimodal statistical analyses

Interested applicants should send a cover letter to Dr. Andy Kim, andyjkim@purdue.edu.
