Internship Opportunity: Data Science
Department: BCI Neuralace - Data Science
Duration: 3 Months - 6 Months (Possible Contract Extension)
Location: On-site preferred
Our Mission
Blackrock Neurotech is 100% focused on improving human lives through neuroscience research and technology. The passion and dedication behind this mission has nurtured a dynamic, enjoyable and fulfilling corporate environment in which learning, and growth are commonplace. We operate in an innovative field that requires our staff to meet the highest standards. Every step of the way, we encourage one another by providing continuous motivation and promoting a healthy work environment.
Community Contributions
Not only are Blackrock’s employees committed to improving lives through their work, but many also strive to improve the community by volunteering in their spare time. Our efforts vary from donating blood and feeding the hungry to volunteering at the Utah Food Bank. We also value community education —teaching science labs to children, coaching sports teams, and teaching first aid courses. We take pride in our employee’s extracurricular activities that contribute to the betterment of local communities.
DisclosureIn order to provide a safe and productive work environment, all offers of employment at Blackrock Neurotech are contingent upon a thorough background check. A criminal history will not automatically disqualify a candidate from an offer of employment.
About Neuralace
Neuralace is advancing the future of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology through innovation, precision, and purpose. We're growing a team dedicated to developing groundbreaking neurotech solutions that bridge the gap between science and real-world impact.
About the Internship
The BCI Data Science team develops the algorithms and signal-processing pipelines that lie at the heart of brain–computer interface (BCI) technology. We are a multidisciplinary group of data scientists, engineers, and neuroscientists who transform complex neural signals into reliable, real-time control. Working closely with hardware, software, and clinical teams, we design and optimize machine-learning models that push the boundaries of neural decoding. We value rigorous experimentation, creative problem-solving, and open collaboration.
