About the role

We’re seeking an AI Neuroscientist to join our Neuroscience team, pushing what AI can achieve in neuroscience. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • PhD or MD/PhD in neuroscience or a closely related field
  • Hands-on neuroscience research experience with first-hand data analysis and a publication record
  • Direct experience analyzing raw data in at least two modalities: electrophysiology (patch-clamp, MEA, Neuropixels), optical imaging, EEG/sEEG, neuroimaging, single-cell or spatial omics, neuropathology, or quantitative behavior
  • Deep expertise in at least one area (systems/circuit, cellular/molecular, clinical/translational, or computational neuroscience) and working fluency across system levels
  • Strong command of experimental design and statistics
  • Proficiency in AI agent use, with the judgment to identify where model reasoning is technically correct but scientifically unsound
More about this role

Latch builds rigorous scientific benchmarks ( benchmarks.bio ) for AI agents across biology. We work with frontier labs and pharma to measure whether agents can handle real biological workflows: the messy, multi-layer reasoning that matters in the field.

We’re seeking an AI Neuroscientist to join our Neuroscience team, pushing what AI can achieve in neuroscience.

About the Role. You will be the scientific authority on ground truth, testing whether agents can reason like an expert neuroscientist. AI agents today struggle to interrogate raw evidence across molecular, cellular, circuit, tissue, and behavioral levels, separate real effects from artifacts and confounds, and reach conclusions and R&D decisions an expert would stand behind. You will work with software engineers and neuroscientists to build the tasks and datasets behind our benchmarks across normal nervous-system function and disease; your judgment will set the standard agent outputs are held to, including:

Define what expert reasoning looks like for a research question or R&D decision, and write gold-standard answers with the rationale an experienced neuroscientist would defend

Design realistic research scenarios across...
