They will be expected to lead their own analysis, as well as to collaborate with other team-mates (neuroscientists, physicians, and staff members) in an effort to incorporate the biological perspective to the analysis they are leading.
They will directly report to Dr. Adam Boxer but will also receive subject-matter guidance from other members of the lab.
