Grants Manager
About The Position
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. 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: A strong technical background in neurotechnology, neuromodulation, or neuroscience — you understand experimental design and can translate it into compelling science. A proven track record of successful grant submissions (NIH SBIR or equivalent). The ability to help us not just write, but strategize — identifying new funding mechanisms, planning timelines, and quarterbacking applications from concept to submission. 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: This is a part-time, flexible position (10–20 hours/week) with potential for long-term engagement as our funding portfolio grows.
