We are looking for a highly skilled and detail-oriented Neuroscience Technologist to join our healthcare team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for conducting diagnostic tests that monitor and evaluate the electrical activity of the brain and nervous system. This role is essential in assisting physicians with diagnosing neurological disorders such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, brain injuries, and other conditions affecting the nervous system.
As a Neuroscience Technologist, you will operate specialized equipment such as electroencephalograms (EEGs), evoked potentials (EPs), and nerve conduction studies (NCS). You will work closely with neurologists, neurosurgeons, and other healthcare professionals to ensure accurate data collection and interpretation. Your ability to maintain patient comfort and safety while obtaining high-quality recordings is critical to the success of this role.
In addition to technical expertise, the Neuroscience Technologist must possess strong communication skills, as you will be required to explain procedures to patients, answer their questions, and provide reassurance throughout the testing process. You must also be able to recognize and respond to medical emergencies during testing procedures.
This position may involve working in various settings, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, sleep centers, and research facilities. Flexibility in scheduling, including evenings and weekends, may be required depending on the needs of the facility.
We are seeking candidates who are certified or eligible for certification through recognized professional organizations such as the American Board of Registration of Electroencephalographic and Evoked Potential Technologists (ABRET) or equivalent. A strong foundation in human anatomy, physiology, and neuroanatomy is essential.
If you are passionate about neuroscience and want to play a vital role in diagnosing and treating neurological conditions, we encourage you to apply for this rewarding and impactful position.
