About the role
Astera Neuro, part of Astera Institute, seeks a PhD-level scientist to read, write, and perturb working memory in mouse cortex at single-cell resolution. You will design behavioral tasks, perform surgeries, and run holographic optogenetics on the all-optical platform.
The role emphasizes end-to-end experimental work, data analysis, and collaboration within a well-resourced, open-science environment.
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.
