LatchBio - AI Neuroscientist
Requirements
• PhD or MD/PhD in neuroscience or a closely related field • Hands-on neuroscience research experience with first-hand data analysis and a publication record • Direct experience analyzing raw data in at least two modalities: electrophysiology (patch-clamp, MEA, Neuropixels), optical imaging, EEG/sEEG, neuroimaging, single-cell or spatial omics, neuropathology, or quantitative behavior • Deep expertise in at least one area (systems/circuit, cellular/molecular, clinical/translational, or computational neuroscience) and working fluency across system levels • Strong command of experimental design and statistics • Proficiency in AI agent use, with the judgment to identify where model reasoning is technically correct but scientifically unsound • Confidence to overrule an AI agent when the evidence demands it, and the openness to update when shown wrong • Ability to calibrate confidence and communicate uncertainty rather than defaulting to binary calls • Practical understanding of model systems (iPSC neurons, organoids, rodents, NHP, human cohorts) • Familiarity with core resources is a plus: Allen Brain Cell Atlas/BICAN, DANDI/NWB, OpenNeuro/BIDS, IBL, ADNI, PPMI, UK Biobank, ClinVar/gnomAD • Culture. We practice radical transparency: you’ll know how the company is doing, what’s working, and what isn’t. It’ll always be us against the problem, never each other. We’re opinionated but respectful, and we bring solutions with our problems. You decide how you work; we judge the output. We use AI constantly, so what we reward is original expert judgment, not AI output passed off as your own. You’ll start on the bench that fits your expertise and can move across teams as you build a track record. People who do well here and bring leadership experience can move quickly into senior roles. Outside of work, we have company outings most months, team off-sites, a Latch run club, cycling, boxing, ice skating, and soccer. Feel free to add to the list. • Culture.
