The Engineer for Advanced Neurodiagnostics and Magnetoencephalography (MEG) will provide advanced technical and scientific expertise to develop and implement procedures and analysis techniques for both clinical and research applications (major focus on epilepsy). The main contribution of the candidate will be the analysis of MEG, High-Density EEG, intracranial EEG, and imaging data from patients and research participants under the guidance of the Technical and Medical Directors. The candidate will also contribute to the acquisition of MEG and EEG from research participants. They will train, support, and provide technical direction to lab members to ensure efficient, timely, and high-quality results in compliance with all protocols, guidelines, and regulations. They will also contribute to lab maintenance and implementing quality control measures.
- Works closely with the Scientific Director and Medical Director on developing and implementing clinical and research protocols.
- Performs advanced data analysis on MEG, High-Density EEG, intracranial EEG, and imaging data under the guidance of the Technical Director (e.g. signal processing and machine learning).
- Communicates and collaborates with lab Directors and other members of the health care team in order to ensure continuity of care and coordination of services.
- Process clinical data use in surgery navigation and robotic systems to guide neurosurgery.
- Occasionally collection and analysis of research data.
- Train new staff and provide direction to lab personnel to ensure efficient, timely, and high quality results in compliance with all protocols, guidelines, and regulations.
- Maintenance, repair, and acceptance testing of MEG lab equipment.
- Ensures that processes and services are continuously monitored for quality, cost effectiveness, and efficiency. Engages in process and quality improvement activities.
