About the role

As a research scientist focused on cellular physiology at Nudge, you will:
Explore ultrasound parameter optimization for driving cellular activity and plasticity
Translate in vitro findings to inform human neuromodulation studies

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.
Develop methods for characterizing the mechanisms of action of ultrasound on neural tissue
Design and execute experiments in vitro to determine the impact of ultrasound on cellular, activity, and plasticity

Exceptional proficiency in neuronal cell culture, including human iPSC-derived neurons, and slice methods
Experience applying advanced microscopy techniques (e.g., two-photon calcium imaging), electrophysiology, or other neural recording techniques to characterize cellular and synaptic physiology

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.

We are looking for research scientists of all levels but regardless of your career level, you should have:
At Nudge, our mission is to develop the best technology for interfacing with the brain to improve people's lives.
