Job Description

\rJob Description \r

Join a cutting-edge program in neuroprosthetics and brain-computer interfaces. We are looking for talented Research Engineers and Scientists with experience in neuro-rehabilitation and translational research and clinical studies. See our recent magazine cover story on our work:

\r

You will work closely with a team of highly experienced and talented engineers, neuroscientists, doctors and medical technology experts, with the mission to restore movement and/or sensation in those who have suffered a traumatic injury or stroke.

\r

More Information on Position:

\r

This role is within the Neural Bypass and Brain-Computer Interface Laboratory, led by Prof. Chad Bouton, at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research aims to restore movement and sensation in people living with paralysis.

\r

We are developing invasive as well as non-invasive approaches to interface with the nervous system. We work with brain implants for high-fidelity control of paralyzed limbs. We are also developing wearable technology that provides gross motor control that can be clinically and commercially viable for everyday use.

\r

Our goal is to explore, innovate and design novel interfaces, hardware, software, and subsystems for the sensorimotor nervous system.

\r

We are looking for a skilled and motivated Neural Engineer to join our team. We are specifically looking for candidates with experience in designing electronics and hardware/software subsystems.

\r

As a part of the position, the candidate will work with a diverse and highly interdisciplinary team of researchers and engineers.
