About this role
POSITION SUMMARY
Astera Neuro is a neuroscience research company building the tools and infrastructure required to understand how the brain works at scale. This role is central to that mission. You will lead development of a miniaturized two-photon microscope capable of simultaneous cellular-resolution imaging and holographic two-photon photostimulation in head-stabilized and freely-behaving mice and rats. The result will be all-optical readout and targeted perturbation of neural circuits at single-cell and ensemble resolution, with transformative implications for systems neuroscience.
The ideal candidate is a scientist-engineer who can carry the work end-to-end.…
