Overview

About Neuro Bionics, an MIT neurotechnology spinout, is developing novel implantable devices that interface seamlessly with the human body to treat neurological conditions. Leveraging over a decade of innovation, we have engineered a novel neural interface using microscale, flexible, bioelectronic fibers that can be delivered into the body through minimally invasive endovascular approaches. Each fiber encompasses a spectrum of functionalities, including electrical, chemical, and optical capabilities, enabling the sensing and modulation of the biological environment.

By making neural interfacing a minimally invasive procedure, we aim to revolutionize deep brain stimulation and broaden access to this life-changing therapy to millions of patients.

We’re Seeking An Individual (not a Grant-writing Firm) Who Can Work With Us Part-time As a Grant Writer / Grants Manager, Helping Identify And Craft Competitive Proposals For NIH, DoD, And Foundation Opportunities. We re Seeking Passionate Individuals With Experience Across Relevant Disciplines To Help Us Advance Our Minimally-invasive Neural Interface. The Ideal Candidate Has

• A strong technical background in neurotechnology, neuromodulation, or neuroscience — you understand experimental design and can translate it into compelling science.
• A proven track record of successful grant submissions (NIH SBIR or equivalent).
• The ability to help us not just write, but strategize — identifying new funding mechanisms, planning timelines, and quarterbacking applications from concept to submission.
