Job description

About Nudge

At Nudge, our mission is to develop the best technology for interfacing with the brain to improve people's lives. We're starting with an approach that we believe can help the most people the fastest, and also allow us to learn as much about the brain as possible: developing a non‑invasive, ultrasound‑based device that can stimulate and image the brain at high resolution and depth. This is a vertically integrated effort building cutting‑edge hardware, software, and research capabilities to create products that can benefit millions — and eventually billions — of people.

• Help design, execute, and analyze human neuroscience studies that advance the development of next‑generation neurotechnology
• Collaborate closely with research and engineering teams to run high‑quality data collection for studies and R&D experiments
• Execute experimental protocols: administer cognitive tasks and collect imaging/physiological data in clinical and non‑clinical populations
• Operate and develop expertise in neuromodulation and imaging systems, helping refine experimental methods and research capabilities

About You

We are looking for research staff of all levels. Regardless of your experience level, you should have:

• A bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree in neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, biomedical engineering, computer science, or a related field
• A demonstrated history of exceptional contributions in your prior work experiences
• Experience conducting experimental research and analyzing behavioral, physiological, imaging, or other complex datasets
• Strong scientific reasoning, analytical, and problem‑solving skills
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
• High integrity and strong professional judgement
