What you'll do
Run human-subjects recording sessions end-to-end: participant prep and fitting, sensor configuration and calibration, stimulus delivery, real-time signal monitoring, and session documentation.
Own daily system QC for a one-of-a-kind sensing instrument: baseline noise recordings, per-sensor health checks, log review, and escalation of anomalies before they touch a dataset.
Own participant operations: recruitment coordination, scheduling, screening, consent, and compliant handling of participant records.
Stand up and maintain the operational backbone of the program: SOPs for acquisition, QC, and participant workflows — documentation that survives you.
Handle first-pass data operations: file conversion, organization, metadata, and quality review in Python.
Partner daily with the program lead to refine acquisition protocols and improve system performance over time.
What we're looking for
Hands-on experience acquiring physiological or imaging data from human participants in a clinical or research setting
Obsessive consistency and attention to detail: you notice when something is off and you don't let it slide.
Professional, patient, and calm with research participants — sessions succeed or fail on how people feel in the room.
Basic scripting ability (Python and/or shell) for QC and data-handling tasks, or clear aptitude and motivation to build it.
High ownership of the unglamorous parts: scheduling, documentation, tidy data hygiene.
Discretion — parts of this program are not yet public. We'll walk you through the specifics, including the exact technology you'd be operating, in the first conversation.
Useful experience
Controlled or low-noise recording environments and highly sensitive instrumentation.
Physiological signal-processing tools in Python.
Human-subjects research administration (IRB protocols, consent workflows).
Research studies involving structured tasks or sensory protocols with human participants.
