In vitro neural recording expert

About the company

Cahira Technologies Inc is an MIT spinoff company founded by Prof. Deblina Sarkar (https://web.mit.edu/deblina-sarkar/). We are building novel sub-cellular sized wireless electronic devices that seamlessly integrate with the brain, enabling brain-computer symbiosis beyond conventional brain-computer interfaces.

About the role

We are seeking a neuroscientist or neural engineer with strong in vitro neural recording expertise.Hands-on expertise in performing in vitro electrical recordings from cultured neurons (using patch clamping, MEA or Calcium imaging) is essential. Applicantsmust have demonstrated experience in this area to be considered.

Familiarity with neuromodulation or studies of neural plasticity using electrical stimulation is desirable.

Applicants should have a solid foundation in electrical modeling of neurons, hodgkin huxley models etc.

Important: Please include a separate section titled"Skills" in your CV, clearly listing your in vivo (if any), in vitro, and other relevant scientific/technical competencies.

Qualifications

Required:

• PhD in neuroscience, biology, bioengineering, electrical engineering or relevant field

• Experience with culturing neurons

• Experience in patch clamp or MEA or calcium signal recording of cultured cells or live slices

• Electrical modeling of neurons, hodgkin huxley models etc.

• Experience with data analysis

Preferred Experience:

• Electrical neural stimulation

• In vivo electrophysiology

• Optogenetics skills

• Neural plasticity with electrical stimulation

• Stem cells, 3D cultures and organoids
