Job Description:

The Preclinical Research Team at Blackrock Neurotech is seeking motivated and detail-oriented short-term and long-term interns to support ongoing work in neuroengineering, preclinical validation, and benchtop testing of implantable neural interface technologies. This internship offers hands-on experience in both in vivo and in vitro research aimed at advancing next generation neuroprosthetic systems. Interns will contribute to experimental design, data collection, and analysis across biological and engineering workflows that bridge the gap between research and clinical application.

Job Responsibility:

Conduct and/or support in vitro (benchtop) testing of neural interface devices, including: Mechanical testing (e.g., tensile strength, bending fatigue)
Electrical testing (e.g., impedance, noise characterization)
Electrochemical testing (e.g., cyclic voltammetry, EIS)
System verification testing
Assist with in vivo preclinical experiments, including animal model support and data collection
Perform data analysis and visualization using MATLAB, Python, or equivalent tools
Maintain detailed and accurate lab records, adhering to experimental protocols and data management standards
Collaborate closely with scientists, engineers, and clinical researchers to integrate findings across test platforms

Requirements:

Currently pursuing a degree in Biomedical Engineering, Neuroscience, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or related field
Prior lab experience in benchtop testing, electrophysiology, or biological sample handling
Familiarity with data analysis and visualization tools (MATLAB, Python, Excel, Origin, etc.)
Strong attention to detail, organization, and communication skills
Interest in neural interfaces, implantable devices, and translational neurotechnology
Strong critical thinking and hypothesis-driven reasoning
Ability to design and document reproducible experiments
Statistical literacy for interpreting clinical or behavioral data
Attention to detail
Excellent communication for cross-disciplinary collaboration
Adaptability when working in regulated environments

What we offer:

Public transportation pass reimbursement (up to $100/month)
