About the role
Astera Neuro is seeking an experimental neuroscientist to join the rodent neuroscience team. You will define cognitive processes, design tasks, perform surgeries, and run two-photon holographic optogenetics to manipulate an animal's internal model.
You will conduct end-to-end experiments from task design to large-scale neural data analysis, shaping aging and neural processing research with open science practice.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
