What is an fMRI?

An fMRI job typically involves working with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technology to study brain activity. Professionals in this field may include researchers, neuroimaging specialists, or technologists who analyze brain function by measuring blood flow changes. They are commonly employed in academic institutions, hospitals, or research laboratories. Responsibilities can include data acquisition, image processing, and interpreting neural responses related to cognition or disease.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of an fMRI professional?

In an fMRI role, your daily tasks typically involve preparing and positioning patients or research participants, operating the MRI scanner, and monitoring data collection to ensure high-quality images. You may also collaborate with research teams or clinicians to plan imaging protocols and troubleshoot technical issues as they arise. Additional responsibilities often include maintaining equipment, adhering to strict safety guidelines, and assisting with data analysis or report generation. This variety of tasks provides a dynamic environment and valuable experience working at the intersection of imaging technology, healthcare, and scientific research.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed for an fMRI position?

To excel in an fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) specialist or technologist role, a background in neuroscience, psychology, or medical imaging—often supported by a relevant degree or certification—is crucial. Expertise with MRI scanners, image analysis software (such as SPM or FSL), and safety protocols is typically required. Strong attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication skills help with patient interactions and interdisciplinary collaboration. These attributes ensure accurate imaging results, patient safety, and smooth operation within research or clinical environments.

Job description

Team Description:

The Next Gen team at Neuralink is developing the next generation of brain-computer interfaces. We are laying the groundwork for intuitive, high-dimensional, and bidirectional interfaces between brains and machines, with the goal of helping people challenged by a variety of neurological disorders and conditions. Our team consists of scientists and engineers, working closely together to define the engineering requirements for these future products. As a Neuroengineer Intern on this team, you will contribute across a wide range of projects, from designing novel experimental preparations, to interpreting neural signals and behavioral data, to developing novel BCI paradigms. Successful candidates will be highly adaptable, able to deploy their core technical and creative skills to tackle a wide range of problems, and have a keen sense of urgency. 

Job Description and Responsibilities:

  • Investigate and map neural correlates of sensory and internally-generated states.
  • Build and iterate on advanced machine learning architectures to map neural activity to complex, multi-dimensional outputs.
  • Design, execute, interpret, and communicate the results of experiments, ranging from non-human primate (NHP) electrophysiology to human fMRI studies.
  • Present results in a fast-paced, highly collaborative setting.

Required Qualifications: 

  • Evidence of exceptional ability in neuroscience, machine learning, biomedical engineering, or a related field
  • 2+ years of academic or industry experience
  • A strong understanding of the scientific method and engineering first principles
  • Fluency with Python for data analysis

Preferred Qualifications: 

  • Experience with modern machine learning, including LLMs, LLM interpretability, and generative models.
  • Expertise in analyzing neural population dynamics and applying manifold analysis techniques to high-dimensional neural data.
  • Strong background in neural decoding, particularly in the domains of movement or speech.
  • Experience with human fMRI experimental design, execution, and fMRI data analysis.
  • Experience with in-vivo electrophysiology, particularly awake-behaving recordings in non-human primates (NHP), and/or closed-loop brain-computer interfaces.
