Lead Computational Neuroscientist
role at
Koniku . A talented scientist to lead the development of next generation Koniku Kores. This leadership role is guided by the question: “How do we realistically shift more work to existing neural circuits, ready to ship in a few weeks?” You will develop creative, small neural circuits in silico which can be realistically verified by our proprietary wetware platform – Koniku Kore. You will also develop safe stimulation, encoding and decoding protocols for neurons in vitro. The ideal candidate is a sharply pragmatic individual, grounded in experimental data with a strong publication record, and an energetic and articulate person with a bold vision. You will be expected to contribute to building a community around your tools, build and maintain collaborations with Academia. A PhD in computational neuroscience or neuroinformatics with a regarded research group or PI and a strong publication record is mandatory. Qualifications
Deep and demonstrable experience with the neuron simulation environment or similar. Previous hands‑on experimental work in vivo and/or in vitro neurophysiology is a solid asset. Excellent programming skills in Python, Matlab, statistical analysis & related packages and other open tools in neuro simulations. Reports directly to CEO. Responsibilities
Propose new circuits to engineering team. Develop coding mechanisms from sensors to the Kore. Design stimulation sequences for neural circuits or neural populations in the Kore. Develop tools for the user community. Guide talented neurogrammers within our outreach program and keep links with academia vibrant. Advise or hire talent to expand the team as required. Requirements
To conform to ITAR regulations, applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
