About the role

Role focused on turning Arbor's experimental data into analyses and tools for longitudinal, closed-loop neuroscience studies using functional ultrasound and electrophysiology.

Responsibilities

  • Own analysis of Arbor's experimental data, including functional ultrasound imaging and electrophysiology, along with the tooling that supports it
  • Work with the experimental team from study design through interpretation, so we answer the highest-priority questions
  • Develop image processing tools: registration and alignment, artifact handling, and whatever else the data demands
  • Help design algorithms for intervention optimization and adaptive experiment design
  • Develop online and real-time analysis methods to support closed-loop experiments
  • Build methods for integrating data across modalities and scales
  • Contribute to high-level scientific decisions about where the organization is going

Qualifications

  • A strong quantitative background: a PhD, or comparable training in an equally demanding environment such as industry
  • Real depth in several of: signal processing, statistics and inference, machine learning, medical or brain imaging analysis, control theory, computational neuroscience; we don't expect all of them
  • Strong coding skills
  • A significant body of independent work you can point to
  • The judgment to tell a problem that can be solved with standard statistical methods from one that requires a more sophisticated approach
  • A self-starter with the skills and instinct to find the shortest effective path to the scientific goal
  • Directness without friction – you say what you think, ask when you don't know, and aren't looking to compete with your colleagues
  • Nice to have: experience in a professional software development environment; public record of algorithm or code development on GitHub or similar; experience with ultrasound, neural, or medical imaging data; prior work building tooling in a research setting
