Since our projects span across a wide range of specialized areas and follow a model of iteration and prototyping, there is a need for specialized, project-based talent. To fill this gap, we host researchers, open-source contributors, and engineers for both short- and long-term engagements. Applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Two steps, no portal and no deadline. Applications are read as they arrive and answered on a case-by-case basis.
Pick an existing project you want to work with, or identify a new and innovative project of your own.
Send us your CV, a one-paragraph proposal, a two-page project proposal (if you’re proposing a new project), and the proposed length of your engagement.
Pick the length that fits the contribution you want to make. Length is the strongest signal of what is realistic.
A focused visit to instrument something, run a workshop, or carry an experiment through to a readout. Best for visitors who already know the project area and arrive with a specific question.
Enough time to ship a measurable contribution: a dataset, a paper section, an instrumentation upgrade, a prototype evaluated in the field. The typical academic-sabbatical fit.
Co-author scope. Visitors at this length are paired with a project lead from day one and contribute on the team's roadmap. Reviewed case by case.
No deck, recommendation letters, or fee required. If a project page is paywalled or unclear, write anyway.
