The role
Neurotechnology is moving quickly, with innovation across brain-computer interfaces, neuromodulation, neuroimaging, consumer neurotech, and adjacent tools shaping the field. At Neurofounders, we cover this landscape through clear, high-signal reporting for founders, researchers, investors, and operators.
We’re looking for a Research & Communications Intern to join part-time and support both the editorial and research sides of the platform.
This role is a strong fit for an MSc student or advanced BSc student in neuroscience, cognitive science, biomedical engineering, neurotechnology, psychology, AI, or a related field who combines analytical ability with strong written communication. It is especially suited to someone who wants to work close to the market, not just the science.

Who we look for
- MSc student or advanced BSc student in neuroscience, cognitive science, biomedical engineering, neurotechnology, AI, psychology, or a related field
