Experience with structural MRI analysis (cortical thickness, volumetrics)
Experience with Singularity/Docker workflows and high‑performance/cluster computing
Preferred Qualifications
Familiarity with large‑scale open datasets (e.g., Human Connectome Project, UK Biobank)
Knowledge of connectomics, graph theory, or neuromodulation methods
Experience with multi‑site MRI harmonization
Strong publication record and collaborative skills
