This position will be used to conduct testing with human participants to assess the tolerability and efficacy of the system in producing changes in cortical physiology and behavior. If our expectations are confirmed, this system will introduce a powerful new method for modulating neural excitability and as such, provide clinicians with a promising new intervention in the treatment of neurological disorders. The work of this position is taking place at UC Berkeley, in the lab of Prof. Richard Ivry, which  has a subcontract with Magnetic Tides. The expectation is that this work experience will help the candidate to make the transition to the next stage of their career.​​​  ​​​​

​

Eligibility. Must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

 

Education. We are looking for someone interested in neuroscience with at least a baccalaureate degree but preference would be given to candidates with a master's degree or PhD.  Early career investigators are also eligible.

Candidates will need to commit to at least 1 year of employment with our company (2 years is even better).

 

Job Description:

1) Running NIBS experiments. This individual will play a critical role in organizing research materials, recruiting participants, data collection and analysis in experiments involving non-invasive brain stimulation in human participants. The ideal candidate will have experience with research involving human participants and computer coding skills and data analysis experience, preferably with MatLab or Python. Previous experience with NIBS and/or electrophysiological measurement systems (such as EEG or EMG) is a plus.
