What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior / Principal Scientist, Preclinical and Clinical Research position at Nia Therapeutics?
Nia Therapeutics has received FDA breakthrough device designation for its Smart Neurostimulation System — A wireless, 60-channel, AI-enabled neurostimulation platform. We aim to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this system for the treatment of memory loss in patients with acquired brain injury and neurodegenerative disease. This therapy could provide hope for the more than 27 million Americans living with debilitating memory loss.
The RoleWorking closely with the CEO, Dr. Michael Kahana, and our data science team, you will develop and execute the clinical plan for our Early Feasibility Study (EFS), complete the clinical protocol for our IDE application, participate in FDA program meetings, and help lay the groundwork for subsequent pivotal trials. In preparation for the EFS, you will manage our ongoing pre-clinical animal safety trials. You will also contribute to grant applications in support of our clinical studies and assemble the team that will carry out our planned clinical trials. This role requires regular presence in the clinic, responsibility over data integrity, and direct involvement in data analysis.
What You'll DoWe don't expect any candidate to bring all of these — any two would make a strong application:
Based in Philadelphia alongside our data science team, with frequent travel to our Boston office and to study sites. We will also consider a Boston-based candidate who is prepared to spend significant time in Philadelphia.
