Neuralink is seeking a motivated individual for the role of Histology Technician. The successful candidate will integrate into an established team and assist with all aspects of the Histological process, ranging from tissue grossing, processing, embedding, and finally, primary/speciality staining. Ample opportunity to make impactful contributions in a nimble start-up like environment. This position reports to Senior Level Histotechnologist.
About you:
Performing large animal necropsy, tissue handling and grossing for pathology studies under GLP (15%)
Performing routine histological tissue processing, embedding and microtomy/cryotomy (40%)
Performing histological stains including immunohistochemistry, microscopic imaging, data analysis, and writing reports (20%)
Maintaining laboratory equipment, preparing reagents, performing quality control tests, keeping records and inventories (30%)
Participating in feedback and coordinating with other teams (5%)
Key qualifications:
BA/BS in Biology, Neuroscience, Immunology or a related field, with 2+ years of laboratory experience
Possess working knowledge of basic anatomic/physiology principles
Experience with Basic laboratory techniques/practices (Dilutions, Aseptic technique, etc)
Ability to carry out and document experiments consistently, according to established standard operating procedures (SOPs) and Good Laboratory Practices (GLPs)
Capacity to work as a contributing team member within a fast moving/dynamic regulated environment
Extensive experience with entry/manipulation of data within large datasets
Experience with daily QA/QC within a diagnostic/research laboratory environment
Preferred qualifications:
1+ years of conducting histology and immunohistochemistry experiments in an industrial and/or clinical setting
Experience with animal necropsy, tissue handling, and grossing procedures
Experience with a variety of routine/specialized histology stains including Immunoperoxidase assays
Experience with whole slide imaging including analysis with ImageJ or other quantitative pathology tools
Experience working within GLP regulations
Certification as Histotechnician/Histotechnologist (ASCP) is considered a plus but not required
What we offer:
An opportunity to change the world and work with some of the smartest and the most talented experts from different fields.
Growth potential. We rapidly advance team members who have an outsized impact.
Excellent medical, dental, and vision insurance through a PPO plan; parental leave.
Neuralink is building a fully integrated brain machine interface (BMI) system. Sometimes you'll see this called a brain computer interface (BCI). Either way, BMIs are technologies that enable a computer or other digital device to communicate directly with the brain. For example, through information readout from the brain, a person with paralysis can control a computer mouse or keyboard. Or, information can be written back into the brain, for example to restore the sense of touch. Our goal is to build a system with at least two orders of magnitude more communication channels (electrodes) than current clinically-approved devices. This system needs to be safe, it must have fully wireless communication through the skin, and it has to be ready for patients to take home and use on their own. Our device, called the Link, will be able to record from 1024 electrodes and is designed to meet these criteria.
Micron-scale threads are inserted into areas of the brain that control movement. Each thread contains many electrodes and connects them to an implant, the Link.
Precision Automated
Neurosurgery
The threads on the Link are so fine and flexible that they can’t be inserted by the huma...n hand. Instead, we are building a robotic system that the neurosurgeon can use to reliably and efficiently insert these threads exactly where they need to be.
The Neuralink App
The Neuralink app would allow you to control your iOS device, keyboard and mouse directly with the activity of your brain, just by thinking about it.
