Neuroscientist

Join Netholabs in Brighton as a Neuroscientist, driving innovative AI research through in vivo experiments and data analysis, with a salary of £48,000–£58,000/year.

• Design and run in vivo electrophysiology experiments in animal models
• Develop and refine neural recording protocols and rigs alongside the hardware team
• Ensure recordings meet the quality and fidelity standards our models are trained on
• Design behavioural paradigms that generate rich, well-controlled datasets
• Plan and oversee data collection sessions, in collaboration with technicians
• Iterate on experimental design based on data quality and downstream modelling needs
• Analyse large-scale neural and behavioural datasets
• Build and apply computational models to characterise neural and behavioural dynamics
• Validate findings and communicate results clearly to the broader research team
• Partner with the ML team to translate biological findings into model design choices
• Help define what neurobehavioural data and features are most valuable to capture
• Contribute to internal research direction connecting neuroscience and foundation model development

• BSc in neuroscience, behavioural sciences, or a related field, with hands-on experimental research experience
• Preferred: experience with in vivo electrophysiology and behavioural neuroscience experiments
• Strong data analysis skills, including experience with Python or a similar language
• Able to design rigorous experiments and think critically about data quality
• Excellent communication; comfortable working cross-functionally with engineering and ML teams
• Experience with large-scale or multi-modal neurobehavioural datasets
• Familiarity with machine learning fundamentals or foundation model training
• Experience with computational modelling of neural or behavioural data
• Prior work bridging neuroscience and AI/robotics research
