Full Job Description

About Neuralink:

We are creating devices that enable a bi-directional interface with the brain. These devices allow us to restore movement to the paralyzed, restore sight to the blind, and revolutionize how humans interact with their digital world.

Team Description:

The Preclinical Team is responsible for designing, conducting, documenting, analyzing, and reporting preclinical studies. Our team provides a means for ensuring the safe, effective, and robust implantation of Neuralink devices into animals and, ultimately, humans.

Job Description and Responsibilities:

The Study Coordinator provides critical operational and project management support to the Study Director in GLP-regulated preclinical studies for Neuralink devices. This role handles the majority of day-to-day coordination, scheduling, data compilation, and administrative tasks, enabling the Study Director to focus on scientific oversight, data interpretation, and regulatory compliance. The Study Coordinator acts as a key liaison across the preclinical team, technical staff, and cross-functional groups to ensure studies progress smoothly, on time, and in compliance with protocols and SOPs. The Study Coordinator will:

• Support the Study Director in developing study protocols, amendments, and related documentation.

• Facilitate cross-functional communication, establish and track study timelines, and prepare/lead study milestone meetings.

• Identify and help eliminate roadblocks that could delay study progress.

• Assist with implementation of test methods and practices described in the study protocol and SOPs.

• Help ensure all experimental data, including observations of unanticipated responses of the test system, are accurately recorded and verified.

• Manage the study schedule, alerting the Study Director and team to critical data collection points or deadlines.

• Support the documentation and addressing of self-reported or QAU-generated deviations that may affect study quality.

• Compile data, organize contributing scientist reports, and assist in preparing the final study report so it accurately reflects study results.

• Maintain organized study files, track communications, and support archiving of data, documentation, protocols, specimens, and reports per GLP.

• Coordinate day-to-day study activities with technical staff, veterinary teams, and external partners (e.g., CROs if applicable).

• Contribute to internal tracking systems, meeting minutes, and status updates for the Preclinical Team.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in biology, neuroscience, biomedical engineering, animal science, or a related field.

• Minimum 1 year of experience in preclinical research support, study coordination, or project management (academic experience applies).

• Solid understanding of GLP regulations (21 CFR Part 58), basic knowledge of ISO 10993, and familiarity with in vivo animal studies.

• Strong organizational and project management skills with proven ability to manage timelines and multiple priorities.

• Excellent attention to detail and proficiency in data compilation, documentation, and Microsoft Office (or equivalent) tools.

• Experience working in or supporting animal research facilities with IACUC protocols.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in biology, neuroscience, biomedical engineering, animal science, or a related field.

• Direct experience with neural device implantation studies or neurosurgical models.

• Background in a CRO or medical device preclinical setting.

• Familiarity with electronic data capture systems or GLP-compliant documentation platforms.

Additional Requirements and Competencies:

• Willingness to work in an animal research facility environment (with required training and PPE).

• Flexibility in schedule to support critical study timepoints.
