[JOB] Neuroscientist (Stem Cell Biology & Neurodegenerative Disease)

Location: Palo Alto, California /on-site
Company: Greenstone Biosciences

About Us
Greenstone Biosciences is an innovative biotechnology startup focused on revolutionizing drug discovery. We leverage cutting-edge human iPSC-based New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) using 3D organoids and advanced human micro-physiological systems, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. Our mission is to accelerate discoveries from the laboratory to the clinic and improve outcomes for patients suffering from neurodegenerative diseases.

Position Overview
We are seeking a highly motivated and creative Neuroscientist to join our growing multidisciplinary team. The successful candidate will play a key role in designing and executing research programs focused on human iPSC-derived neuronal models, neurodegenerative disease mechanisms, and biomarker discovery. This position offers the opportunity to work at the intersection of neuroscience, stem cell biology, and computational approaches in a fast-paced startup environment.

Key Responsibilities
• Design and conduct experiments using human iPSC-derived neuronal and glial models.
• Investigate cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, ALS, or related disorders.
• Analyze and interpret multi-omics datasets, including transcriptomics, proteomics, and imaging data.
• Collaborate with AI, bioinformatics, and translational research teams to identify novel therapeutic targets and biomarkers.
• Develop, optimize, and validate experimental protocols.
• Present research findings internally and externally through reports, publications, and scientific conferences.
• Contribute to grant applications, intellectual property development, and strategic research planning.

Qualifications
Required:
• Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Neurobiology, Molecular Biology, Biomedical Sciences, or a related field.
• Postdoctoral experience (at least 2-3 years) in the field of neuroscience.
• Strong background in cellular and molecular neuroscience.
• Experience with human stem cells, iPSC-derived neuronal cultures, organoids, or neurodegenerative disease models.
• Demonstrated record of scientific achievement through publications and presentations.
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills.

Preferred:
• Familiarity with computational biology, machine learning, or AI-driven data analysis.
• Experience in biotechnology, pharmaceutical, or startup environments.
• Knowledge of translational neuroscience and drug discovery.
