This is the person who runs our human experiments.
Our human neuroscience program is expanding, building from a small intramural program and an active UK collaboration with ARIA. The studies will start with functional ultrasound imaging, later paired with focused ultrasound neuromodulation. Participants are people with a sonolucent cranial implant, usually placed after surgery for traumatic brain injury, stroke, or a tumor. These individuals often have comorbid conditions that neuromodulation may be able to improve. The studies are longitudinal and causal: intervene, image the circuit response, track the symptom, and repeat in the same person over months. Today the studies run in the clinic or lab; eventually we want to run them in participants’ homes.
Your job is to make those experiments happen: designing the studies and running them, including travel to clinical sites, setting up rigs, collecting data alongside our staff and clinical partners, and interpreting the data we collect. You’d work directly with our analysis lead on the computational side and with engineers on the device platform.
We’re hiring at multiple levels and will calibrate scope and title to your experience. At the earlier end, you’d run studies we’ve designed together and take on more as you go. With more experience, you’d own research lines end to end, hold our clinical site relationships, and help set the direction of the human research program alongside the CEO and the rest of the scientific team.
We’re also still a small, startup-like organization, so everyone fills multiple roles, including hands-on science and the work that gets science done.
Note: We’re also hiring a Head of Clinical Science, a broader role leading how Arbor thinks about clinical impact across the organization. If both sound like you, apply to either and tell us.
