About the Role
This is a rare opportunity to join a small, fast-moving neurotechnology startup at the ground floor. We're conducting groundbreaking research into brain health, human performance, and the nervous system — and we're looking for a hands-on Researcher to work directly at the intersection of neuroscience, technology, and medicine.
You'll operate cutting-edge non-invasive neurotechnology devices, work face-to-face with research participants, and help shape the studies that could redefine how we understand and support human health. Your work will have direct, visible impact on both the science and the company's direction.
This is a fully on-site role in Boston, MA. You should be comfortable being present and engaged in person, 6 days per week, 9am–6pm.
What You'll Do
Work directly with research participants during study sessions, prioritizing their safety and comfort while collecting high-quality data
Operate, test, and maintain cutting-edge neurotechnology devices with precision and care
Collect, organize, and analyze experimental data to support ongoing research initiatives
Identify patterns in observations and translate findings into actionable insights
Help improve research protocols, standard operating procedures, and tooling based on real-world experience in the lab
Collaborate across neuroscience, engineering, medicine, and operations teams to solve complex, interdisciplinary problems
Take ownership of foundational projects that shape the trajectory of the company
What We're Looking For
Must-haves (dealbreakers):
2+ years of experience in research, clinical, or laboratory environments — conducting studies, collecting data, or operating specialized equipment
Demonstrated ability to work directly with human research participants or patients in clinical or medical settings
Experience operating, troubleshooting, and maintaining specialized medical or scientific instruments
Required skills & background:
Proficiency in experimental data collection, organization, and analysis using spreadsheets, databases, or statistical software
Experience designing, documenting, or improving research protocols and SOPs
Background in neuroscience, biology, psychology, engineering, medicine, or a related life sciences discipline
Ability to identify patterns in experimental observations and communicate findings clearly
Comfortable working in fast-paced, high-urgency environments with multiple concurrent priorities
Nice to have:
Experience with clinical trial design, regulatory compliance, or IRB processes
Background in neurotechnology, brain-computer interfaces, or non-invasive neuromodulation
Experience in sleep science, sleep disorders, or sleep medicine research
Proficiency with data visualization or statistical software such as R, Python, or MATLAB
Familiarity with laboratory information management systems (LIMS)
We care far more about demonstrated capability and genuine curiosity than specific credentials. Strong candidates may include recent graduates with hands-on research experience, clinical trial coordinators, neuroscience researchers, or data-driven problem solvers passionate about human health.
Compensation & Benefits
Salary: $80,000 – $120,000 USD annually, depending on experience
Opportunity for significant early-stage ownership and career growth in a rapidly evolving field
Visa sponsorship: Not available — candidates must be authorized to work in the United States
Location
On-site only — Boston, MA
6 days per week, 9am–6pm in-person availability required
Remote and hybrid arrangements are not available for this role
