The Role
We're building a foundation model of the brain and behaviour across species, and the data that powers it is produced in-house by a small, high-trust team. This role sits at the centre of that effort. As a Human Data Collection Associate, you run data collection sessions on assigned rigs, preparing and calibrating the setup, running the session, and making sure the data you hand off is clean and complete.
It is a hands-on role with real ownership. You'll report to the Human Data Collection Lead and work alongside the Hardware Systems team who build and maintain the rigs. You'll also take part in sessions as a contributor of your own data, so comfort being recorded during collection is part of the role.

Data quality and integrity
Own the quality bar for everything you collect. Review, label, and validate recordings so that only clean, well-documented data moves downstream
Keep accurate consent, provenance, and session-metadata records for every dataset, following the standards the Lead sets and our obligations under UK GDPR
Identify and document anomalies, and help refine protocols as we learn what works
Operations and equipment
Keep your recording setup maintained, charged, and ready, and track its condition over time
