A talented scientist to lead the development of next generation koniku kores. This leadership role is guided by 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. We are seeking an energetic and articulate person with a bold vision. You will 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.

Experience & Additional 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 solid asset.
• Excellent programming skills in Python, Matlab, Statistical Analysis & Related Packages and other open tools in neuro simulations.
• Reports directly to CEO.

Detailed Job Description

• Propose new circuits to engineering team.
• Developing 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.
• Advice or hire talent to expand on the team as required.
