The posting

About Arbor Neuroscience

(formerly Forest Neurotech)

Arbor is a nonprofit research organization working on one of the hardest open problems in clinical neuroscience: how to change brain circuits by design.

Millions of people with depression, chronic pain, and other brain disorders have no treatment that works. Modulating activity in the brain circuits underlying their symptoms – with electrical stimulation, focused ultrasound, or magnetic stimulation – can work spectacularly well. But it doesn't work reliably, and we can't predict who it will help.

That's what Arbor aims to fix. The starting point is a new class of experiment: intervene, measure how the circuit responds, track the symptom, and repeat in the same individual over months. We’re building the necessary experimental platform. It currently includes the Forest 1 ultrasound system, which works like a wearable functional MRI, but with higher resolution. The system images activity across large brain volumes, including deep brain structures, and will soon stimulate as well. We are also adding electrode-based interfaces in animal studies. From these data, we'll build models to make neuromodulation predictable.

Arbor is a Focused Research Organization within the Convergent Research family, and the new name for Forest Neurotech. We're a mission-focused nonprofit, doing multidisciplinary translational work that doesn't fit in a lab or on a company roadmap. We have the funding to run the first phase, and we're a small team – the people we hire now will shape what Arbor becomes.

The Role

What You’ll Do

  • Design longitudinal, causal, within-subject human studies: imaging first, then neuromodulation
  • Run those experiments, or oversee them as the program grows
  • Own the experimental rigs: specify what's needed, keep them running, and work with our engineers on device usability and improvements
  • Work with research collaborators, including travel to clinical sites
  • Support participant recruitment alongside our clinical operations lead
  • Analyze and interpret data, with our analysis lead
  • Write up results, publish, and present at scientific meetings
  • Help shape the human neuroscience program

Who We’re Looking For

  • Experience running human studies end to end, including recruitment, data collection, and analysis
  • Comfort with hardware and software: you may not have built a rig, but you can troubleshoot one
  • Sufficient computational skills to run standard data analyses on your own and to advise and critique more innovative ones
  • Directness without friction – you say what you think, ask when you don't know, and aren't looking to compete with your colleagues
  • A deep interest in seeing your work reach patients

Our benefits include:

  • Medical, dental, and vision – most plans fully covered for you and your dependents
  • 401(k) with up to 6% match
  • Company-paid life and AD&D, with voluntary supplemental options
  • 15 holidays plus a floating day for your birthday
  • 3 weeks PTO increasing with tenure, and separate sick leave

Arbor will consider sponsorship for U.S. work authorization case by case. Sponsorship isn't guaranteed, and immigration timelines can affect start dates. Where we sponsor, we cover the legal and government fees.

Arbor is an equal opportunity employer. We hire based on talent and experience and don't discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, military or veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
