Associate Neurophysiologist

Launch Your Career in Neurophysiology

Are you a recent or soon-to-be graduate with a passion for neuroscience, clinical care, and cutting-edge medical technology? NeuroIOM is looking for motivated, science-driven individuals to join our team as an Associate Neurophysiologist in Eugene, OR. This is a rare opportunity to enter a highly specialized and rewarding field — with mentorship, hands-on training, and a clear path toward professional certification.

What Is Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM)?

Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) is a specialized clinical practice that uses real-time neurophysiological techniques to assess the integrity of the nervous system during surgical procedures. By continuously monitoring the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves throughout an operation, IONM professionals provide surgeons with immediate, actionable feedback — helping to prevent potentially devastating neurological complications.

IONM is used across a wide range of complex surgeries, including:

• Spinal surgeries (scoliosis correction, spinal fusion, disc repair)
• Brain and skull base tumor resections
• Vascular procedures involving the aorta or carotid arteries
• Orthopedic and ENT surgeries with neural proximity risks

Neurophysiologists use modalities such as somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs), motor evoked potentials (MEPs), electromyography (EMG), electroencephalography (EEG), and auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) to track neural function in real time. It is a dynamic, high-stakes discipline that places clinical science directly at the intersection of patient safety and surgical care.

Our team of highly trained neurophysiologists uses state-of-the-art technology and proven clinical protocols to provide actionable data that supports informed surgical decision-making.

By combining clinical expertise, responsive service, and a commitment to excellence, NeuroIOM strives to improve surgical outcomes, reduce the risk of neurological complications, and contribute to safer, more effective patient care. We are dedicated to building trusted partnerships with healthcare providers and advancing the standard of intraoperative neuromonitoring through quality, integrity, and innovation.

Position Overview

As an Associate Neurophysiologist, you will be enrolled in NeuroIOM’s structured training program designed to develop competency across all core IONM modalities. Working alongside credentialed neurophysiologists, you will observe and gradually perform intraoperative monitoring in live surgical settings, gaining the clinical hours and practical skills required for professional certification.

This role is ideal for recent graduates who thrive in fast-paced, detail-oriented environments and who are passionate about making a tangible difference in surgical patient outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• Set up and operate IONM equipment in the operating room
• Learn to apply and interpret SSEP, MEP, EMG, EEG, and other monitoring modalities under direct supervision
• Communicate relevant neurophysiological changes to surgical and anesthesia teams in real time
• Maintain accurate, thorough documentation of intraoperative findings and monitoring records
• Follow established clinical protocols and safety standards in all OR environments
• Participate in NeuroIOM’s training curriculum, case reviews, and continuing education programs
• Collaborate professionally with surgeons, OR staff, and NeuroIOM clinical leadership

Minimum Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree (completed or anticipated by start date)
• Minimum GPA of 3.0 preferred
• Strong foundational knowledge of human anatomy and physiology
• Genuine interest in clinical neuroscience and intraoperative care
• Ability to work flexible hours, including early mornings, evenings, and occasional weekends
• Comfortable working in hospital and OR environments
• Exceptional attention to detail and ability to remain calm and focused under pressure
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with clinical teams

Preferred Qualifications

• Coursework or lab experience in human anatomy/physiology, neuroscience/neurophysiology, or other health sciences
• Coursework or enrollment in a neuroscience-related program is a plus

What We Offer

• Comprehensive, structured training program with direct mentorship from certified neurophysiologists
• Paid training and competitive compensation
• Support for CNIM certification preparation, including exam fees
• Hands-on clinical experience across a variety of surgical specialties
• A collaborative, mission-driven team culture focused on patient safety
• Opportunities for career advancement within NeuroIOM as you build expertise and credentials
• Health/dental/vision benefits, 401K, PTO
