NeuroGEARS

I am a computer scientist and software engineer by training but switched gears to do a PhD in neuroscience. I created Bonsai, a free and open-source visual programming language that currently is used to control thousands of Neuroscience experiments around the world. We founded NeuroGEARS after realizing the gap between the tinkering needs of basic neuroscience research and the rigidity of closed-source proprietary tools. Our goal is to make technology that is accessible, understandable and modifiable. We want scientists to be able to take apart their instruments, understand how they work, and be able to quickly recombine and repurpose their technical toolkit to answer scientific questions at the edge of the unknown, while trusting the quality of their data. We are looking for a talented .NET software engineer who can help us reimagine our frontend architecture to a modern and extensible cross-platform UI stack, and a technical writer or research scientist that can help us design and implement new outreach and training materials for the Bonsai community. We aim to cover a broad audience including not only scientists, but also artists and engineers with an interest in experimental lab activities, and open-source hardware and software.
