Research Scientist, Data Analysis

The Role: This is the person who turns our experiments into results. Arbor is generating novel datasets. In humans, we image deep brain structures with functional ultrasound, and we will soon be adding ultrasound neuromodulation. Those studies are longitudinal and causal: intervene, image the circuit response, track the symptom, and repeat in the same person over months. In animals, we combine this bidirectional ultrasound with electrophysiological stimulation and recording, giving us causal measurements across a wide range of spatial and temporal scales, in the same subjects over time. Your primary responsibility is the analysis of those data and the tooling around them, working with a highly quantitative experimental team from the design stage onward. Because these studies will be longitudinal and closed-loop, there will also be a need for optimal experiment design, online analysis implementations, and closed-loop control. We're hiring at multiple levels and will calibrate scope and title to your experience: at the earlier end, you'd own the analysis work in close collaboration with the scientific team; with more experience, you'd set the computational direction for the organization. We're also still a small, startup-like organization, so everyone fills multiple roles, including hands-on science and the work that gets science done.

Nice to have: experience in a professional software development environment; a public record of algorithm or code development on GitHub or similar; experience with ultrasound, neural, or medical imaging data; prior work in a research setting where you had to build the tooling yourself. You don't need a neuroscience background. You do need to want one. Some of the best people to have worked on these problems originally came from another field.$183,000 - $210,000 a year Compensation is benchmarked and leveled. If you don't fit a level, we find one that works.

Our benefits include: Medical, dental, and vision – most plans fully covered for you and your dependents 401(k) with up to 6% match Company-paid life and AD&D, with voluntary supplemental options15 holidays plus a floating day for your birthday3 weeks PTO increasing with tenure, and separate sick leave Arbor will consider sponsorship for U.S. work authorization case by case. Sponsorship isn't guaranteed, and immigration timelines can affect start dates. Where we sponsor, we cover the legal and government fees. Arbor is an equal opportunity employer. We hire based on talent and experience and don't discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, military or veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
