About the role

Human neuroscience research role focused on longitudinal, causal within-subject studies combining functional ultrasound imaging with later neuromodulation, involving clinical sites and potential home-based execution in the long term.

Responsibilities

  • Design longitudinal, causal, within-subject human studies: imaging first, then neuromodulation
  • Run those experiments, or oversee them as the program grows
  • Own the experimental rigs: specify what's needed, keep them running, and work with engineers on device usability and improvements
  • Work with research collaborators, including travel to clinical sites
  • Support participant recruitment alongside our clinical operations lead
  • Analyze and interpret data, with our analysis lead
  • Write up results, publish, and present at scientific meetings
  • Help shape the human neuroscience program

Qualifications

  • A PhD and experience running human neuroscience research
  • Background could be cognitive, affective, or clinical neuroscience, human neuroimaging, or human neuromodulation
  • Prior work grounded in disease is a plus but not a requirement
  • Experience running human studies end to end, including recruitment, data collection, and analysis
  • Comfort with hardware and software: able to troubleshoot a rig
  • Sufficient computational skills to run standard data analyses and critique innovative ones
  • Directness without friction; proactive communication
  • Deep interest in seeing work reach patients
