About Nudge
Nudge’s goal is to help the brain work better by creating a generalized product that can precisely stimulate and image the brain, entirely non-invasively. We aim to achieve this by developing cutting-edge ultrasound technology to treat neurological and psychiatric disorders, like addiction, and eventually, creating a mainstream consumer device that can modulate mood, focus, sleep, and more.
To realize those ambitions, we’re growing a scrappy, multidisciplinary, science and engineering team focused on making the best technology possible for interfacing with the whole brain, and a product that has the potential to improve people’s daily lives more than any other.
About the team
The Research Team at Nudge is innovating on multiple frontiers in neuroscience and neurotechnology, and is primarily focused on developing ultrasound-based neuromodulation to treat conditions like depression, chronic pain and addiction as well as enhance the wellbeing of healthy people. We’re also building the first scalable, portable hardware for noninvasive structural ultrasound-based imaging that matches the quality of an MRI. The team is running human trials for neuromodulation and developing algorithms that will enable on-device imaging.
About the role
As a research assistant you will be responsible for conducting our in-human studies, in both clinical and non-clinical populations, utilizing MRI for target registration and our ultrasound hardware to deliver the stimulus. Our research team offers training in ultrasound neuromodulation and MRI and do not expect prior experience with human non-invasive brain stimulation, although it is preferred. You will also have the opportunity to contribute to process-level improvement for our studies and work with leading neuroscientists in this growing field.
