About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Define expert reasoning for research questions and R&D decisions
- Write gold-standard answers with defensible neuroscientific rationale
- Design realistic research scenarios from hypothesis and target selection through experimental design, data processing, and inference
- Curate multimodal neuroscience data bundles
- Pair basic-science and disease tasks to assess transfer from normal function to pathology
- Partner with software engineers to create benchmark workflows
- Test model-system and unit-of-analysis choices
- Assess translation from rodent, iPSC, or organoid findings to human disease
- Adjudicate contested literature claims and identify experiments that would resolve them
- Interrogate agent reasoning step by step
- Identify reasoning failures and explain expert alternatives and evidence requirements
- Score agent confidence and reward calibrated uncertainty
Requirements
What you’ll need- PhD or MD/PhD in neuroscience or a closely related field
- Hands-on neuroscience research experience with first-hand data analysis and a publication record
- Direct experience analyzing raw data in at least two modalities: electrophysiology, optical imaging, EEG/sEEG, neuroimaging, single-cell or spatial omics, neuropathology, or quantitative behavior
