About Nudge At Nudge, our mission is to develop the best technology for interfacing with the brain to improve people's lives. 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. 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’ve brought together a team of the best, who believe hard things are worth doing. To succeed, we need to assemble world-class teams across everything we do. We hire people who are exceptional at their craft, do the real work, and execute relentlessly — people who expect the highest levels of both rigor and integrity from each other.
About the Role As a research scientist focused on rodent behavior and neural imaging at Nudge, you will:
Design and execute experiments in rodents to characterize the effects of ultrasound neuromodulation on brain circuits and behavior
Collect and analyze behavioral and neural data, with techniques such as electrophysiology, calcium imaging and/or fiber photometry
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
Translate preclinical findings to inform human neuromodulation studies
About You Qualifications and Experience:
PhD or postdoc in neuroscience, biomedical engineering or similar engineering discipline
Exceptional proficiency in ultrasound neuromodulation, functional ultrasound neuroimaging, optogenetics, electrophysiology, two-photon microscopy, or fiber phototometry 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
Demonstrated history of exceptional technical contribution
Seniority level: Entry level
Employment type: Full-time
Job function: Other
