Why we read it this way (4)
The posting frames AI/ML expertise as essential ('A strong foundation of technical skills in artificial intelligence applications is essential'), but all specific tools and programming languages are listed under Preferred Qualifications and explicitly noted as 'desirable, but not required.' Only MRI experience and machine learning are treated as core to the role's mission.
The Ph.D. is a hard minimum requirement; Neuroscience is the preferred field, but Computer Science and other neurobiology-related disciplines are also accepted.
This is an academic postdoctoral position, not a standard industry role. The salary range ($63,480–$72,000/year) is typical for a postdoc and is stated as commensurate with experience.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role blends data science/ML (15-2051) with domain-specific neuroimaging research that could also fit 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other), given its academic and interdisciplinary nature.
