# Computational Neuroscientist - Company: [Eon systems]() - Location: San Francisco - Remote: Yes - Team: Functional Recording - Employment type: Full Time - Salary: $130K – $170K - Posted: June 12, 2025 ## Job description ## **About us:** At Eon, we are at the forefront of large-scale neuroscientific connectomic data collection. Our mission is to enable the safe and scalable development of brain emulation technology to empower humanity over the next decade, starting with a digital twins of a fruit fly and a mouse. ## Role At Eon, we intend to create a embodied digital twins of animals. This role would create embodied Drosophila that perform tasks using existing physics simulations (MuJoCo). They would integrate these body simulations with connectome-based brain simulations to create the realistic, embodied brain models. Extensive, hands-on experience with computational neuroscience is required. ## **Responsibilities** * Use existing embodied fly models (e.g., Flybody, NeuroMechFly/Flygym) to simulate *Drosophila melanogaster* behaviors. * Create compelling demonstrations of virtual flies performing tasks in a virtual environment. * Customize and iterate models to achieve biologically plausible behaviors. * Document all code and workflows to ensure reproducibility. * Creation of virtual environments and bodies in Drosophila, and eventually mice. ## **Skills** * Proficiency in Python, and familiarity with scientific computing libraries (e.g., NumPy, Matplotlib). * Experience with brain or biomechanics simulation tools (e.g., MuJoCo, the Gymnasium API, Flybody, Flygym, Brian2). * Knowledge of neuroscience, computational biology, or related fields. Background in *Drosophila* neuroscience would be ideal. * Strong ability to create polished and engaging visualizations. * PhD or equivalent qualifications in neuroscience or related field would be ideal, but is not required ## **Representative projects** These are examples of projects that you would be working on when joining us: * Creation of embodied, virtual flies * Visualization of brain activity * Planning experimental data collection to best complement our computational biology data sets ## **Salary** Competitive salary, including equity, apply. ## Apply [Apply on Eon systems]() Canonical job page:
