Job Description

Prana is on a mission to unlock human performance. Our goal is to give people
total control over their health. We’re building the operating system for
health optimization - integrating multiple services and AI-powered
personalized insights into one end-to-end ecosystem.

We're looking for a founding sport scientist to help realize this vision. Our
platform delivers science-based insights on fitness and health entirely
computationally, using our propreitary AI-agent currently in development. We
aim to put a sport performance coach and prevenetative health specialist in
everyone's smartphone, analyzing user data in real-time to generate tailored
health optimization insights.

Our first product, FitOS, focuses on helping users improve body composition
and physical fitness. We're building a mobile app with multiple relevant tools
and the first version of our AI-coach.

We're looking for a founding sport scientist with a passion for science-based
bodybuilding, nutrition, and sport performance to join our team. You will
shape alot of the knowledge base our AI will use to generate tailored
optimization plans for our users. This role requires strong scientific
experience and a clear passion for Prana's mission.

If you're sick of misinformation and pseudoscience, want to contribute to
building a next generation health optimization platform, and believe people
should have total control over their health - please apply.

Core Responsibilities:

* Shape sport performance protocols to optimize exercise and diet protocols to improve body composition.
* Shape protocols to improve athletic performance and cardiovascular endurance.
* Sift through data on health optimization, converting scientific data into knowledge bases for our computational platform
* Contribute to how we design our applications, down to the level of the input flows we take users through to maximize their results

Requirements:

* Demonstrated scientific or medical experience within sport performance or related field (nutrition, prevenetative health etc.). At minimum we expect a BSc in a related field, with preference for a PhD or MSc. There are many ways to satisfy this requirement - whether its publications, articles you've written, or more.
* Expert level understanding of science-based bodybuilding.
* Expert level understanding of science-based nutrition, and modern nutrition science.

We can take on a variety of experience levels - whether you're early in your
career or have been a sport scientist for over a decade. What we look for is a
passion for the mission we're working towards, a strong understanding of
science based sport performance (with a distaste for pseudoscience), and the
desire to work at an early-stage startup.

This role will primarily involve creating scientific protocols we can use
within our consumer platform. You'll work most closely with the CEO and will
shape development of our products with significant equity in the company.

and Mobile Health. Their company has offices in San Francisco. They have a
small team that's between 1-10 employees.
