Senior Scientist - St. Louis, United States - Washington University
Description
Scheduled Hours40
Position Summary
The DRIVES Project has an opening for a senior scientist with interests in Alzheimer's disease (AD), biomarkers, driving, machine learning, and/or artificial intelligence. This role would advance three, ongoing NIH/NIA R01 funded grants that investigate the long-term impact of AD brain pathology on driving behavior and driving cessation among persons with and without preclinical AD. The ability to identify who will be at most risk of driving decline and to predict when decline will occur will inform early driving safety intervention trials for older drivers. Our research program employs several methods to study driving but exclusively uses a commercial off-the-shelf datalogger using a fleet-based telematics device that collects naturalistic driving behavior. We also collect a cadre of biomarkers to study disease pathology, including brain imaging (Positron Emission Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and fluid-based (cerebrospinal fluid, blood/plasma) biomarkers.
We now seek a senior scientist with strong experience in data science skills to organize, manage, and analyze high frequency data relating to whether daily driving behavior reflects underlying neuropathological AD and is associated with prevalent and incident cognitive impairment. The successful candidate will join a dynamic, collaborative, and growing laboratory, and will work directly with Dr. Ganesh Babulal to develop new models to examine and visualize changes in driving behavior and risk of crash.
This position is responsible for collaborating with the principal investigator (PI) on the design, conduct and reporting of research projects.
