Wellness • Wearables • Health

ŌURA is a company that produces smart rings designed to provide in-depth health metrics and insights. The Oura Ring tracks a variety of health-related data such as sleep patterns, heart rate, activity levels, and stress. It aims to help users live healthier and more productive lives through accurate biometrics tracked via a comfortable ring worn all day and night. With features that benefit women's health, heart health, and overall wellness, ŌURA rings are marketed as both technologically advanced and user-friendly devices for personal health monitoring.

📋 Description

• Lead and contribute to end-to-end research projects using multimodal physiological and behavioral data — including wearable time-series signals, continuous biomarkers (e.g. CGM), and biological samples (e.g. blood biomarkers) — from hypothesis through analysis to dissemination. • Design rigorous studies and analyses to answer challenging scientific questions that can move the field forward, across sleep and circadian biology, women's health, cardiometabolic function, and physical activity. • Develop and apply advanced statistical and computational models (e.g., mixed-effects models, time-series methods, ML/AI approaches) to answer meaningful health questions with real-world, noisy data. • Translate evidence and research insights into actionable product solutions, helping partners understand what findings mean for members and future features. • Build and maintain strong working relationships across Health Science, Data Science, and Product squads. • Contribute to external scientific dissemination through abstracts, posters, and peer-reviewed manuscripts, strengthening Oura's scientific credibility and visibility. • Support literature synthesis and help contextualize findings within current evidence to sharpen research narratives and identify new directions.

🎯 Requirements

• A PhD in a relevant field (e.g., bioengineering, data science, biostatistics, neuroscience, biomedical engineering, computer science, exercise science, women's health, or digital health), combined with a degree in a quantitative or computational field — such as computer science, data science, engineering, or biostatistics — at the BS level or above. • A strong track record of first-authored publications in peer-reviewed journals — particularly work introducing novel concepts, methods, or algorithms — or patent applications, demonstrating the ability to independently drive innovation from conception through to completion. • Deep hands-on experience with statistical modeling and applied ML in Python or R, particularly with time-series or physiological data, and predictive analytics — for example, forecasting models, classification pipelines, or risk stratification applied to health outcomes. • Fluency in advanced statistical methods — mixed-effects models, survival analysis, Bayesian inference, or equivalent — and comfort building models that hold up under real-world messiness. • Demonstrated interest and domain knowledge in at least one of our focus areas: sleep & circadian biology, women's reproductive health, cardiometabolic health, movement and physical activity, longevity, neuroendocrinology, or immune function. • Experience working with wearable or sensor-based data, digital health platforms, or similar applied data environments. • Strong product intuition — you understand that rigorous science and practical impact are complementary, not competing, and you enjoy building the relationships that make both possible. • Creative, hypothesis-driven thinking: the ability to frame new questions, design novel analyses, and operate in ambiguous, exploratory R&D contexts. • Strong scientific communication skills —able to synthesize results and clearly explain methods, assumptions, and limitations to both technical and non-technical audiences.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity packages • Health, dental, vision insurance, and mental health resources • An Oura Ring of your own plus employee discounts for friends & family • 20 days of paid time off plus 13 paid holidays plus 8 days of flexible wellness time off • Paid sick leave and parental leave
