About the role
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.
To succeed, we need to assemble world-class teams across everything we do. We hire people who are exceptional at their craft, believe hard things are worth doing, and execute relentlessly — people who expect the highest levels of both rigor and integrity from each other.
About the role
As a human neuroscientist at Nudge, you will:
- Design, execute, and analyze ultrasound neuromodulation studies in humans
- Integrate data from observational, behavioral, neuroimaging, and neuromodulation methodologies into experimental design
- Translate insights from in vitro, animal, and engineering studies to human application
- Contribute to strategies for exploring novel targets for neuromodulation based on internal and external research
- Communicate scientific findings and results with engineering and other team members
About you
We are looking for scientists of all levels but regardless of your career level, you should have:
- A PhD or postdoc in cognitive neuroscience, neuroengineering, or a similar science or engineering field
- Strong neuromodulation and neurophysiology first principles
- Experience with brain stimulation in humans, ideally with transcranial ultrasonic stimulation
- Exceptional proficiency interventional data acquisition and analysis, including use of fMRI, behavioral, and physiological measurements
- Exceptional proficiency with statistical analysis
- Experience carrying out analyses in Python, R, and/or MATLAB
- A demonstrated history of exceptional technical contribution
- High integrity and strong professional judgement
