About the roleAs a research scientist focused on cellular physiology at Nudge, you will:
- 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 properties, activity, and plasticity
- Explore ultrasound parameter optimization for driving cellular activity and plasticity
- Translate in vitro findings to inform human neuromodulation studies
About youWe are looking for research scientists of all levels but regardless of your career level, you should have:
- A PhD or postdoc in neuroscience, molecular/cellular biology, biomedical engineering or a similar engineering discipline
- 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
- Experience developing or using genetic tools (viral transduction, CRISPR-based approaches, etc.) for molecular manipulations in neural tissue
- A demonstrated history of exceptional technical contribution
- High integrity and strong professional judgement
- A high level of independent thinking and relentless execution approach
