Scientist Lead - EEG

Scientist Lead - EEG

An expanding CRO is seeking a dedicated EEG Scientist to lead their EEG team and contribute to innovative translational drug discovery programs.

Role Overview

The EEG Scientist will work closely with the Senior Scientific Director to maintain, expand, and innovate EEG capabilities across preclinical studies. You will play a key role in study design, operational delivery, data analysis, and reporting while supporting the continuous development of EEG services across pharmacology, sleep, seizure liability, and disease-model research.

Key responsibilities

• Design, execute, and analyse EEG studies in rodents
• Support development of new EEG methodologies, troubleshooting, and innovative approaches
• Contribute to expanding EEG services and capabilities across the organization
• Run pharmaco-EEG studies and manage day-to-day operational workflows
• Prepare study protocols, collect and analyse data, and generate high-quality reports
• Perform EEG data analysis using appropriate tools and pipelines
• Interpret results and ensure scientific validity in all outputs
• Prepare reports for internal and external stakeholders
• Participate in meetings and contribute to harmonizing procedures and documentation
• Train and validate staff in EEG tools, techniques, and analysis pipelines
• Provide technical expertise and troubleshooting for EEG hardware and software

What are we looking for?

• Degree in neuroscience, physiology, biomedical sciences, or related field
• Hands on experience handling and dosing animals for EEG studies
• Familiarity with EEG hardware (e.g., DSI, EMKA, TaiNi)
• Strong analytical, problem solving, and communication skills
• Ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team

Desirable attributes

• Experience with sleep, seizure, pharmacology, or disease model EEG studies
• Knowledge of advanced EEG analysis techniques (coherence, phase amplitude coupling)
• Agility to adapt to changing commercial and project requirements

This role offers the chance to lead and innovate in preclinical EEG research, working hands on with cutting edge models and technologies while directly impacting translational drug discovery in a collaborative, team oriented environment.
