How can I get a job in neural engineering?

The primary qualifications for getting a job in neural engineering are a master's degree and some industry experience. Many neural engineers start as interns or work in research institutions while still in school. This is a higher educational requirement than other biomedical engineers, primarily because neural links are still a relatively new technology and require significant amounts of specialized education. Experience is beneficial in this field, so the more you have, the more likely you are to stand out from other neural engineers. If you want to focus exclusively on research, rather than building biomedical devices, consider pursuing a doctorate instead. Fulfilling the responsibilities and duties of a job in neural engineering requires research skills, interpersonal skills, and sometimes the ability to travel to conferences and industry events.
