Research Scientist, Cellular Physiology

About the role

As 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 You

We 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
• A high level of independent thinking and relentless execution approach
• High integrity and strong professional judgement
