Computational Neuroscientist / Electrophysiology Data Analysis Engineer

At MaxWell Biosystems, we innovate the future of electrophysiology by developing cutting-edge technologies for neural activity recording. Our platform includes the software MaxLab Live, a custom-designed integrated circuit, and an FPGA-based data acquisition system that generates vast amounts of data when electrically imaging neu-ronal tissue. These data are processed, analyzed, and visualized in real-time.

We are seeking a highly motivated Computational Neuroscientist or Electrophysiology Data Analysis Engineer to join our interdisciplinary team. The ideal candidate will bridge the gap between software engineering and electrophysiology data analysis, helping us develop novel tools for neuroscience research and drug discovery.
