Type: Full-timeLocation: Brighton — On-siteCompensation: £48,000–£58,000/year, in accordance with experienceThe RoleNetholabs is building AI grounded in biological intelligence.
We record petascale, high-resolution neurobehavioural data from living systems and use it to train neural foundation models — a new substrate for the next generation of AI, robotics, and personalised intelligence.
We aim to greatly reduce the burden of animals used in basic scientific research and pharmacological work, with eventual removal and replacement by in silico models.
We're looking for a Neuroscientist to join our Brighton research team as an independent contributor driving experiments from design through analysis.
You'll design and run in vivo electrophysiology and behavioural experiments, work with large-scale neural and behavioural datasets, and partner closely with our ML team to translate what we learn.
This is a role for someone who wants their science to feed directly into what gets built next.
