About Paradromics

Brain-related illness is one of the last great frontiers in medicine, not because the brain is unknowable, but because it has been inaccessible. Paradromics is building a brain-computer interface (BCI) platform that records brain activity at the highest possible resolution: the individual neuron. AI algorithms then decode this massive amount of brain-data, enabling the seamless translation of thought into treatments. 

Our first clinical application, the Connexus® BCI, will help people who are unable to speak, due to ALS, spinal cord injuries and stroke, to communicate independently through digital devices. However, the capabilities of our BCI platform go far beyond our first application. With the brain in direct communication with digital devices, we can leverage technology to transform how we treat conditions ranging from sensory and motor deficits to untreatable mental illness.

The Role

The Senior Scientific Writer is responsible for creating elegant, accurate, and compelling scientific content that brings Paradromics’ technology differentiators, pre-clinical and clinical progress, and data science innovation to life. You will translate complex science into clear messaging that validates our design rationale and demonstrates the impact of our work to investors, clinicians, academics, and the broader tech community.
