About Paradromics
Brain-related illness is one of the last great frontiers in medicine, not because the brain is unknowable, but because it has been inaccessible. Paradromics is building a brain-computer interface (BCI) platform that records brain activity at the highest possible resolution: the individual neuron. AI algorithms then decode this massive amount of brain-data, enabling the seamless translation of thought into treatments.
Our first clinical application, the Connexus® BCI, will help people who are unable to speak, due to ALS, spinal cord injuries and stroke, to communicate independently through digital devices. However, the capabilities of our BCI platform go far beyond our first application. With the brain in direct communication with digital devices, we can leverage technology to transform how we treat conditions ranging from sensory and motor deficits to untreatable mental illness.
The Role
We are seeking a professional and personable Receptionist to join our Administrative Team. As the first point of contact for Paradromics, the Receptionist plays a key role in representing our brand. The ideal candidate is highly organized, proactive, and has excellent interpersonal skills to ensure a welcoming experience for guests and employees alike. This is a full-time, in-office position. Work hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, with occasional overtime as needed.
