About NeuroBionics

NeuroBionics, an MIT neurotechnology spinout, is developing novel implantable devices that interface seamlessly with the human body to treat neurological conditions. Leveraging over a decade of innovation, we have engineered a novel neural interface using microscale, flexible, bioelectronic fibers that can be delivered into the body through minimally invasive endovascular approaches. Each fiber encompasses a spectrum of functionalities, including electrical, chemical, and optical capabilities, enabling the sensing and modulation of the biological environment. By making neural interfacing a minimally invasive procedure, we aim to revolutionize deep brain stimulation and broaden access to this life-changing therapy to millions of patients.

What we are looking for

We’re seeking an individual (not a grant-writing firm) who can work with us part-time as a Grant Writer / Grants Manager, helping identify and craft competitive proposals for NIH, DoD, and foundation opportunities. We're seeking passionate individuals with experience across relevant disciplines to help us advance our minimally-invasive neural interface. The ideal candidate has:

1. A strong technical background in neurotechnology, neuromodulation, or neuroscience — you understand experimental design and can translate it into compelling science.

2. A proven track record of successful grant submissions (NIH SBIR or equivalent).

3. The ability to help us not just write, but strategize — identifying new funding mechanisms, planning timelines, and quarterbacking applications from concept to submission.

About the Role: Grants Manager

Location: Somerville, MA or Remote

Start Date: ASAP

Commitment: Part-time, contract

Job Responsibilities:

We’re seeking a Grant Writer / Grants Manager to help us expand our non-dilutive funding portfolio through NIH, DoD, and foundation grants. This role is ideal for someone with a strong scientific background and a passion for translating cutting-edge neurotechnology into high-impact proposals.

You will collaborate closely with the executive and technical teams to:

• Lead writing and coordination of NIH (SBIR) and foundation proposals

• Identify and track new grant opportunities aligned with NeuroBionics’ R&D roadmap

• Develop proposal timelines, coordinate contributions, and manage submission logistics

• Translate complex scientific and engineering concepts into compelling, fundable narratives

• Contribute to budget planning, milestone definition, and strategic funding strategy

This is a part-time, flexible position (10–20 hours/week) with potential for long-term engagement as our funding portfolio grows.

Ideal Candidate Qualifications

• M.S. or Ph.D. in biomedical engineering, neuroscience, neurotechnology, or related field

• Proven track record of successful grant writing (NIH, DoD, NSF, or major foundations)

• Excellent technical writing and organizational skills

• Ability to understand experimental design, data, and translational research goals

• Entrepreneurial mindset and excitement for early-stage MedTech innovation

Bonus Points

• Experience with SBIR/STTR grants

• Familiarity with neuromodulation, electrophysiology, or endovascular devices

• Prior work with startups or academic spin-outs
