Your work will change lives. Including your own.
The Impact You'll Make
Be a key hands-on contributor to our neuroscience team, applying your deep expertise in advanced electrophysiology and neuropharmacology to characterize network dysfunction in neurodegenerative disease models.
Generate high-quality, actionable data that our entire programs will build on. You'll use your skills with cellular models, including human iPSC-derived 2D and 3D models, to produce the functional readouts (e.g., MEA, calcium imaging and other neuropharmacology assays) that fuel our discovery pipeline.
Collaborate closely with a cross-functional team of biologists and data scientists. You will play a vital role in designing experiments, analyzing complex neural datasets, and translating raw functional readouts into shared, actionable insights.
Help our team grow and improve by bringing your pharma expertise and rigorous, detail-oriented approach to the lab. You'll help optimize assays, validate new systems, and share your knowledge to support the growth of colleagues in a collaborative setting.
Contribute to a fast-paced, mission-driven environment where your ability to troubleshoot, communicate clearly, and work as part of a team is essential to our collective success.
In this role, you will:
Serve as a hands-on technical expert, executing advanced neuropharmacology and electrophysiology studies (e.g., multielectrode arrays, imaging assays) on human iPSC-derived neurons and 2D/3D neurodegenerative disease models.
Independently design, develop, and optimize cell-based functional assays to characterize drug candidates and profile new model systems.
Conduct rigorous analysis, signal processing, and troubleshooting of complex neuroscience datasets (e.g., electrical traces, local field potentials, calcium traces, pharmacodynamic modeling).
Document and present experimental designs, data, and actionable insights to our cross-functional team to help drive program decisions.
Manage key laboratory functions with high attention to detail, including coordinating any cross-functional lab work, monitoring inventory, ordering reagents, and basic equipment maintenance.
The Team You'll Join
You will be an integral member of our Neuro Team, a highly collaborative group united by a strong commitment to serving patients with devastating neurodegenerative diseases.
Our team operates at the intersection of deep domain expertise and data-driven science. We are responsible for discovering targets and advancing new medicines by working to decode the complex biology of the human nervous system. To do this, we combine insights from our large-scale maps of biology with hypothesis-driven functional studies using advanced, human-relevant models.
You will work cross-functionally in a highly matrixed environment, collaborating daily with experts in data science, computational biology, pharmacology, stem cell biology, and medicinal chemistry. Your hands-on expertise in electrophysiology and functional assays will be critical, providing the high-fidelity data and biological insights that validate our targets and drive our therapeutic programs forward.
We thrive on open communication, intellectual curiosity, and a shared sense of mission. We are looking for a colleague who values rigorous science, brings a collaborative spirit, and is motivated to learn and grow with us as we tackle one of medicine's greatest challenges.
The Experience You'll Need
M.S. or B.S. in Neuroscience, Biology, or related field (Ph.D. not required) and 3-5 years of pharmaceutical or biotechnology experience with hands-on execution of advanced cellular neuropharmacology and electrophysiological studies, preferably within the context of neurodegenerative diseases.
Direct hands-on experience with functional neuroscience techniques such as multielectrode arrays and other high-throughput ephys platforms to characterize drug candidates and profile novel cellular model systems.
Hands-on expertise and proficiency with human cell-based translatable systems, including iPSC-derived neurons and 2D or 3D in vitro neurodegenerative disease models.
Demonstrated ability to independently design, optimize, analyze and present data related to cell-based functional assays. Deep experience with electrical traces, local field potentials (LFP), or calcium imaging is highly desirable.
Knowledge and ability to execute general molecular biology techniques and assays for downstream protein and RNA processing preferred.
