What is a neuroscience tech?

A Neuroscience Tech, or Neurodiagnostic Technician, is a healthcare professional who assists in diagnosing neurological conditions by performing tests like EEGs, EMGs, and evoked potentials. They work under the supervision of neurologists and use specialized equipment to monitor brain and nervous system activity. Their role is essential in detecting disorders such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, and nerve diseases. Neuroscience Techs typically work in hospitals, clinics, or specialized diagnostic labs.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a neuroscience tech?

To thrive as a Neuroscience Tech, you need a solid understanding of neuroanatomy and physiology, experience with neurological diagnostic procedures, and typically an associate's degree in a related field or specialized certification. Familiarity with electroencephalogram (EEG) machines, evoked potential (EP) systems, and patient data management software is essential. Attention to detail, effective communication, and compassion for patients are key soft skills in this position. These competencies enable accurate testing, patient cooperation, and collaboration with neurologists for the best outcomes.

What kinds of procedures and tests will I typically perform as a neuroscience tech?

As a Neuroscience Tech, you will commonly conduct diagnostic tests such as EEGs, nerve conduction studies, and evoked potential tests to monitor and assess the electrical activity of the brain and nervous system. Your day-to-day work may include preparing patients, attaching electrodes, monitoring recordings, and troubleshooting equipment to ensure high-quality, accurate results. You may work closely with neurologists, other techs, and nursing staff to interpret results and care for patients with neurological concerns. This hands-on clinical role requires a blend of technical expertise and interpersonal skills to ensure patient comfort and precise data collection.

What careers can I get with neuroscience tech?

A neuroscience technician can pursue careers such as research assistant, neurodiagnostic technologist, or clinical neurophysiology technologist. These roles often involve working in hospitals, research labs, or clinics, utilizing skills in neuroimaging, electrophysiology, and patient care. Certification and familiarity with specialized equipment are typically required for advanced positions.

Postdoctoral Scientist - Schulze Lab

Job description

Primary Work Address: 19700 Helix Drive, Ashburn, VA, 20147
Current HHMI Employees, click here to apply via your Workday account.
About the role:
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Scientist with hybrid expertise spanning systems neuroscience, computer-vision, pose-tracking, behavioral ML, and VR technology to join the Schulze Lab. In this role, you will integrate custom hardware and software with computational analysis pipelines to probe the neural circuits underlying collective behavior and social cognition. To design and apply your own virtual reality paradigms, you will be working closely with our lab's VR specialist and collaborate across the team to investigate the rich, naturalistic behavior we study in Danionella. Further, you will use multi-animal tracking and behavioral classification to study latent structures and create brain-behavior maps.
This is an excellent opportunity for a scientifically driven researcher who is comfortable tinkering and who is motivated to advance the understanding of how individuality, sex differences, and stress shape the brain and decision-making in groups.
About the lab:
The Schulze Lab addresses a central question: how do neural circuits compute the experience-dependent actions animals deploy in complex, social worlds? The lab studies how individual traits, internal state, and context interact to shape both personal behavioral trajectories and group-level outcomes. We put a particular focus on the neural basis of inter-individual differences, sexually dimorphic and stress-related features expressed in social contexts such as schooling behavior. We use data-driven approaches for realistic closed-loop controlled VR-experiments, combined with two-photon calcium imaging and molecular phenotyping at single-cell resolution to investigate brain-wide circuits in the adult vertebrate brain. Further, we use LICONN for ultrastructural analyses. More information about the Schulze lab can be found here: the Schulze Lab page.
In addition, the HHMI Janelia Research Campus provides a highly collaborative, resource-rich environment for our work.
What we provide:
  • A competitive compensation package, with comprehensive health and welfare benefits.
  • Access to Janelia's facilities and engineering support for imaging, custom-hardware, scientific computing, Unity-based visual environments, in-situ hybridization, and dissection.
  • A highly collaborative, interdisciplinary research campus with close ties to labs working across systems neuroscience, computation, modeling, and tool development.
  • One-on-one mentorship.
  • Support to attend and present at scientific conferences.
  • Amenities that enhance work-life balance such as on-site childcare, free gyms, available on-campus housing, social and dining spaces, and convenient shuttle bus service to Janelia from the Washington D.C. metro area.

What you'll do:
  • Design VR systems and paradigms to present naturalistic, socially rich stimuli.
  • Write software to integrate ML-based/agentic approaches for multi-animal studies.
  • Develop and execute experiments investigating the neural circuits underlying inter-individual differences, sexually dimorphic and stress-related traits in social behavior.
  • Analyze the multivariate whole-brain activity, behavioral, and stimulus data using computational approaches. Interpret results in the context of project goals.
  • Prepare technical reports, protocols, and quantitative analyses, and maintain familiarity with current literature in systems neuroscience and VR-based behavioral neuroscience.
  • Collaborate with the lab's VR specialist and other members of the Janelia community.

What you bring:
  • A Ph.D. in neuroscience, computer science, engineering, or a closely related field.
  • A hybrid background bridging software-hardware integration and computational as well as ML skills with a solid grounding in systems neuroscience.
  • Demonstrated experience building or working with complex rigs, such as VR systems for behavioral neuroscience research.
  • Working knowledge of scientific principles and the ability to exercise independent judgment in developing methods, techniques, and evaluation criteria.
  • Ability to perform highly complex experiments with high levels of reliability and accuracy within time constraints.
  • Genuine interest in the neural basis of inter-individual differences, including sexually dimorphic and stress-related features in social contexts such as schooling behavior.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to prepare technical reports and contribute to publications.
