AI Neuroscientist
Latch builds rigorous scientific benchmarks (benchmarks.bio http://benchmarks.bio) for AI agents across biology. We work with frontier labs and pharma to measure whether agents can handle real biological workflows: the messy, multi-layer reasoning that matters in the field.
We’re seeking an AI Neuroscientist to join our Neuroscience team, pushing what AI can achieve in neuroscience.
About the Role. You will be the scientific authority on ground truth, testing whether agents can reason like an expert neuroscientist. AI agents today struggle to interrogate raw evidence across molecular, cellular, circuit, tissue, and behavioral levels, separate real effects from artifacts and confounds, and reach conclusions and R&D decisions an expert would stand behind. You will work with software engineers and neuroscientists to build the tasks and datasets behind our benchmarks across normal nervous-system function and disease; your judgment will set the standard agent outputs are held to, including:
Build the task
- Define what expert reasoning looks like for a research question or R&D decision, and write gold-standard answers with the rationale an experienced neuroscientist would defend
- Design realistic research scenarios across the workflow, from hypothesis and target selection through model-system choice, experimental design, data processing, and inference
- Curate multi-modal data bundles (electrophysiology, calcium imaging, EEG/sEEG, MRI/PET, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, histopathology, behavior, biofluid markers)
- Pair basic-science
