Astera Institute

Drive core research by developing and executing scientific vision while designing reinforcement learning feedback loops for biological models. Collaborate with the experimental team to bridge wet and dry lab efforts and architect robust model training infrastructure.

You will co-direct the research program by shaping scientific vision and developing reinforcement learning feedback loops to bridge wet and dry lab experiments. Additionally, you will perform hands-on engineering to architect model training infrastructure and debug training loops.

Develop biologically plausible computational models of neural circuits and brain systems to advance the understanding of brain computation. Analyze large-scale neural datasets and communicate findings through technical reports and publications.
