Neuroscientist

About the Company

Greenstone Biosciences is a biotechnology startup in the San Francisco Bay Area that is building new approaches to drug discovery and therapeutics using human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). The company combines advanced technology, AI, computational biology, and pharmacogenomics to make discovery workflows more effective and innovative. Its curated collection of disease-focused and patient-specific iPSCs supports work in disease modeling, discovery of new biological mechanisms, and development of personalized medicine. The team emphasizes scientific collaboration and inventive thinking to advance biomedical research.

Role Overview

Greenstone Biosciences is looking for an experienced and imaginative Neuroscientist to join a multidisciplinary research team. The role centers on planning and running studies involving human iPSC-derived neuronal models, understanding mechanisms of neurodegenerative disease, and identifying biomarkers. This is a chance to work where neuroscience, stem cell biology, and computational methods overlap in a fast-moving startup setting.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and execute experiments with human iPSC-based neuronal and glial systems.
• Study the cellular and molecular processes involved in neurodegenerative disorders.
• Review and interpret multi-omics outputs such as transcriptomics, proteomics, and imaging data.
• Work closely with AI, bioinformatics, and translational research colleagues to uncover new therapeutic targets and biomarkers.
• Build, refine, and confirm experimental workflows and protocols.
• Share findings through internal updates, publications, reports, and scientific meetings.
• Support grant writing, intellectual property efforts, and broader research strategy planning.

Qualifications

• Doctoral degree in Neuroscience, Neurobiology, Molecular Biology, Biomedical Sciences, or a closely related discipline.
• At least 2 to 3 years of postdoctoral experience in neuroscience.
• Strong grounding in cellular and molecular neuroscience.
• Hands-on exposure to human stem cells, iPSC-derived neuronal cultures, organoids, or disease models related to neurodegeneration.
• A proven research record with publications and conference presentations.
• Strong communication and analytical problem-solving abilities.

Preferred Background

• Exposure to computational biology, machine learning, or AI-based analysis approaches.
• Experience in a biotechnology, pharmaceutical, or startup environment.
• Understanding of translational neuroscience and drug discovery.

What We Offer

• The chance to contribute to the early growth of a transformative biotechnology company.
• Competitive compensation with equity participation.
• A collaborative, mission-focused research culture.
• Opportunities for professional development and leadership.
• Access to advanced tools and interdisciplinary expertise.
