Your opportunity

JOB DESCRIPTION

The role is that of a domain expert: you contribute your scientific knowledge of the field to strategic engagements with a long-term, future-oriented perspective.

Domain Expertise and Evidence Assessment

  • Share a well-founded view on how trigeminal nerve stimulation modulates brain activity, including dopaminergic pathways and the brain areas involved.
  • Explain how effects differ across the ophthalmic (V1), maxillary (V2) and mandibular (V3) branches, and across stimulation modalities.
  • Assess the mechanisms behind optimal frequencies and waveforms, and the conditions under which nerve desensitisation may occur with repeated use.

Expert Dialogue and Future Perspectives

  • Take part in structured expert interviews and, where useful, in workshops with senior stakeholders.

  • Bring an informed view on the latest developments in the field, including recent work not yet peer reviewed, and assess their plausibility and relevance.

Review and Sparring

  •  Review interim findings and assumptions for scientific soundness, and challenge them from a researcher's perspective.
  • Explain complex neurophysiological dynamics clearly to a non-specialist, executive audience.
Portfolio Management challenge
  • Experience: PhD in neuroscience, neurophysiology, biomedical engineering or a related field, with 6+ years of research experience on trigeminal or cranial nerve stimulation. Human research preferred; animal research also considered. First-hand mechanistic research is required; clinical use of trigeminal devices alone is not sufficient.
  • Core expertise: Deep understanding of trigeminal anatomy, neuromodulation mechanisms and stimulation parameters such as frequency, waveform and intensity.
  • Future orientation: Forward-looking, strategic mindset with a strong interest in how scientific insight translates into new products and experiences. Able to think beyond today's state of the art.
  • Communication: Able to explain your field clearly and concisely to non-specialists and senior decision makers.
  • Language: Good command of English required.

Desirable:

  • Experience with electrophysiology, neuroimaging or neurochemical methods
  • Experience with multiple stimulation modalities, e.g. electrical, thermal or vibrotactile
  • Experience collaborating with industry or applied R&D teams
  • Experience in facilitating or contributing to workshops
Neuroscience
  • Engagement type: Freelance / independent consultant
  • Time commitment: Flexible, depending on your availability and the needs of the engagement. This ranges from selective expert input on demand (a few days in total) to a more active role in the project team (up to 40 to 60% FTE during intensive phases). Exact allocation agreed individually.
  • Location: Remote-first. Occasional travel to client locations may be required.
  • Language: English required.
  • Confidentiality: Standard NDA required. Candidates should confirm they have no conflicting engagements in the relevant field prior to engagement.
  • Rate: Competitive day rate commensurate with seniority. To be agreed.
