From Stanford University's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Basic Life Research Scientist
Hybrid work arrangement
The expected pay range for this position is $71,000 to $108,000 per annum.
The Stanford Digital Brain Project is a five-year, multi-investigator initiative to build a foundation model of the healthy adult human brain. We are collecting deep, stimulus-driven brain imaging data at unprecedented scale using 7T fMRI and OPM-MEG, with data organized into sequential scientific tranches and released publicly along with trained models and benchmarks. The project involves faculty across Stanford neuroscience, psychology, and computer science, purpose-built imaging facilities, and external compute partnerships.
Data collection for the first tranche is beginning now.
We are hiring a scientific project manager to serve as the operational backbone of the project during its most intensive phase. The project runs through five working groups (7T fMRI, OPM-MEG, Tranche 1 design, informatics, computational modeling) led by faculty who are also running labs. Progress currently depends on faculty and a small staff absorbing coordination work that has outgrown them. You would take that on. This is a tactical, embedded role. You will sit inside the working groups, not above them.
You will know what every group is doing this week, what is blocking them, and who owes what to whom. You will work alongside the project's executive leadership, who handle strategy, governance, and external partnerships, and you will be the person who makes sure decisions made on Friday still exist on Monday.
This is a two year, fixed term position.
● PhD in neuroscience, cognitive science, psychology, or a related field, or equivalent research experience. You need enough domain fluency to follow a discussion about noise ceilings, retention functions, or preprocessing pipelines and know what matters and what is blocking
