The posting

OXMAN

We are a design company advancing the unification of top-down design engineering and bottom-up biological growth to mutually empower Nature and Humanity. Our team operates at the intersection of design, technology, biology, ecology, and engineering. We build systems where Nature and humans co-create as one.

ROLE OVERVIEW

We are actively seeking researchers for our lab - synthetic biologists, bioengineers, plant scientists, materials scientists, microbiologists, and anyone who has a passion for unusual, interdisciplinary research is encouraged to apply.

Examples of projects these researchers could work on include biosensor development, integrating biological components into physical systems, adapting organisms to unusual or extreme environments, novel transformation methods, novel fabrication processes, or studying what extremophiles can teach us about our built environment. Outcomes of these projects are expected to run the gamut from scientific publications to speculative or early-stage products/processes to art objects that simply prove something is possible.

If you are an interdisciplinary thinker who engineers living systems toward new functions, designs at the boundary where biology becomes material, or translates biology into the built environment, we want to know you.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Lead and/or collaborate on research projects that span a variety of fields of study.

- Nurture and augment the scientific vision of OXMAN, upholding core design principles and ensuring the highest and most innovative quality of work

- Communicate ideas, work, and progress clearly, including by engaging in team meetings, presentations, and other creative communication outlets

- Maintain high-quality documentation of scientific output and research in the forms of written reports, electronic lab notebooks, internal databases, code comments, etc.

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE

- PhD in a relevant field

ESSENTIAL QUALITIES

- Ability to thrive and prioritize in a self-directed environment

- Excellent project management skills, organizational skills, and attention to detail

- Strong commitment to the team; maintains positive working relationships with people from diverse personal and professional backgrounds

- Embodies ethics and integrity in all work with impeccable scientific integrity, respecting both company and broader community policies in all conduct

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Instead of a cover letter, please pitch us on a potential project you’d be interested in working on. Inspiration for this project can be taken from anything - your previous work, our previous work, a problem you see in the world, etc. We aren’t going to hold you to this idea specifically, but we want a broad sense of the goals you’d like to achieve and the approach you’d take to get there.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
