Neuralink is searching for a resident neurosurgeon in Austin, Texas. The neurosurgeon will join the Neurosurgical Resident Innovation Fellow at Neuralink. 

Below is the job description and responsibilities of Neuralink’s resident neurosurgeon position. 

“As a Neurosurgical Resident Innovation Fellow at Neuralink, you will train with our neurosurgical leads to function as assistant or primary surgeon for experimental brain-machine interface procedures using human cadavers or large animal subjects. In addition, you will work closely with technical teams to continuously refine and innovate surgical techniques and provide usability and safety feedback. 

“You will also participate in engineering design reviews for new developments of the surgical robot, surgical processes, or implant. Additionally, neurosurgeons work with veterinary anesthesiologists and veterinary technicians to ensure the humane and ethical use of animal subjects.”

Recently, Neuralink’s human trial patient, Noland Arbaugh, shared his progress and experiment during the company’s PRIME Study. Currently, Neuralink aims to enable people with quadriplegia to control digital devices, improving their quality of life. 

Neuralink’s human trial, called the PRIME Study, is the first significant step to achieving the company’s first goal. The PRIME Study should provide a good foundation for Neuralink’s brain-computer interface implant, which will likely have more applications in the future.

Neuralink has many vacant jobs in various departments located in Austin, Texas and Fremont, California. Currently, it has open jobs in Research Services, Robotics & Surgery, Brain Interfaces, Operations, and Core Software. It also has several internship positions.

Neuralink searches for resident neurosurgeon in Texas

A tornado warning has been issued for San Marcos, Kyle, Redwood, Austin and parts of the Hays County in Texas on Thursday. The National Weather Service (NWS) has asked residents to take shelter as soon as possible. A massive twister along – along with hail storms – is expected in the area.

The National Weather Service (NWS) Fort Worth, Texas, issued a tornado watch at 1:37 p.m. CDT on Thursday. Named event number 221, the watch remains in effect until 9 PM CDT this evening for five counties in west central Texas: Kimble, Mason, McCulloch, Menard and San Saba. This includes several cities such as Brady, Junction and Mason.

Thursday afternoon into early evening is expected to see widely scattered to scattered thunderstorms, with the potential for intense supercells capable of large to giant hail and severe gusts. The tornado risk may concentrate along a west to east wind shift in north-central Texas. Later, these storms could coalesce into a severe cluster with significant hail and wind hazards.
