About the role
TL;DR
Lead human neuroscience studies using intracranial recordings to decipher neural codes.
- •Astera Neuro is establishing a human neuroscience initiative to collect and analyze intracranial data at scale, focusing on understanding the neural codes underlying perception, thought, and behavior.
- •This role will lead large-scale studies in neurosurgical patients, analyzing single-neuron recordings to decipher compositional representations.
- •Key Responsibilities Design and implement intracranial cognitive paradigms for language, mathematics, perception, and working memory.
- •Process and analyze single-neuron and population recordings from the human brain.
- •Coordinate with clinical collaborators and manage study setup and data collection.
- •Implement advanced computational neuroscience methods for large-scale datasets.
- •Contribute to open-science data releases and share tools, data, and discoveries.
- •Requirements Hands-on experience with human intracranial electrophysiology (sEEG, ECoG, microelectrode arrays).
- •Demonstrated ability to design and implement cognitive paradigms in clinical research populations.
- •Strong quantitative and analytical skills, fluent in Python and/or MATLAB.
- •Deep understanding of advanced concepts for population-level analysis of neural representations.
- •PhD or MD/PhD with 8-12+ years of relevant experience.
