We are seeking a detail-oriented Clinical Research Intern to join our team. This role sits at the intersection of neurology, ophthalmology, and data science. It will assist in literature research expanding our diagnostic application for diverse pathologies from cognitive impairment to ADHD. The Intern will review medical literature and market applications of our related technologies, expanding our diagnostic library and identifying how distinct ocular‑motor signatures can differentiate a wide spectrum of neurological and systemic conditions.

Neuro Sync is at the forefront of neurotechnology innovation, offering a digital health platform designed for the assessment of brain health, the management of recovery processes, and the optimization of performance. Our mission is to leverage next-generation technologies to enhance understanding and care for neurological conditions, providing solutions that cater to individuals and professionals alike. While traditional diagnostics rely on subjective patient reporting, Neuro Sync utilizes high-fidelity eye‑tracking biomarkers to provide objective, physiological evidence of brain health.

Eye‑tracking technology is increasingly used as a "window into the brain" for neurodegenerative diseases, vestibular disorders, and mental health conditions. By analyzing the neural pathways that control eye movement, we can detect "micro-errors" that indicate specific types of brain dysfunction.

This role will support research into how eye‑tracking technology serves as a diagnostic tool for:

• Neurodegenerative Diseases:
  Identifying research biomarkers for ADHD, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s.
• Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI):
  Mapping vestibular‑ocular reflex (VOR) impairments in concussion recovery.
• Neurodevelopmental Disorders:
  Refining protocols for ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) through gaze‑pattern analysis.
• Psychiatric Monitoring:
  Investigating correlations between ocular pursuit and conditions such as Schizophrenia or severe Depression.
• Fatigue & Performance:
  Analyzing microsaccades to measure cognitive load and neurological readiness in high‑performance athletes or pilots.

• Multivariate Data Collection:
  Assist in literature research expanding our diagnostic application for diverse pathologies from cognitive impairment to ADHD.
• Advanced Biomarker Analysis:
  Research and analyze specific patterns such as saccadic latency, hypometria, and nystagmus.
• Literature Reviews:
  Synthesize peer‑reviewed research on the eye‑brain connection, focusing on cranial nerves and brainstem regions involved in ocular‑motor control.
• Data Integrity:
  Maintain clinical databases ensuring HIPAA‑compliant storage of high‑resolution biometric data.

• Residency in Massachusetts (MA) or currently attending university in MA.
• Availability to work on‑site at our office Mon–Fri.
• Interest in health economics and healthcare policy, and excellent research, writing, and analytical skills.
• Ability to work independently, manage multiple tasks, and meet deadlines.
• Prior internship or work experience is preferred.
• Rising Junior or Senior status preferred.
• Prior experience or interest in clinical research is desired.

Summer stipend ranging from $2,000 to $4,000 based on time and performance.

Full‑time, 10–12 week internship. Compensation based on skills and experience.
