About the role
- As a research scientist focused on rodent behavior and neural imaging at Nudge, you will:
- Collect and analyze behavioral and neural data, with techniques such as electrophysiology, calcium imaging and/or fiber photometry
- Translate preclinical findings to inform human neuromodulation studies
Responsibilities
- We're starting with an approach that we believe can help the most people the fastest, and also allow us to learn as much about the brain as possible: developing a non-invasive, ultrasound-based device that can stimulate and image the brain at high resolution and depth.
- Design and execute experiments in rodents to characterize the effects of ultrasound neuromodulation on brain circuits and behavior
- Develop and validate experimental paradigms linking neural activity changes to behavioral and physiological responses with clinical relevance
- Optimize ultrasound stimulation parameters for specific brain circuits and cell types to achieve targeted neuromodulation
Nice to have
- A PhD or postdoc in neuroscience, biomedical engineering or similar engineering discipline.
- Experience in ultrasound neuromodulation is a plus
- Exceptional proficiency in optical/two-photon imaging, optogenetics, electrophysiology, fiber photometry or functional ultrasound imaging in animal models
- Experience with automated behavioral tracking and analysis or computational analysis of neural + behavioral data
- Experience designing experiments informed by ultrasound physics and acoustic field modeling is preferred
- A demonstrated history of exceptional technical contribution
- High integrity and strong professional judgement
- A high level of independent thinking and relentless execution approach
Benefits
- This is a vertically integrated effort building cutting-edge hardware, software, and research capabilities to create products that can benefit millions - and eventually billions - of people.
Company info
