Build lasting relationships between researchers and a product with important unanswered questions. You will make collaboration worth the university's time.
Not open yet: Pilot expansion
This work starts when that stage arrives, so there is no application to submit today and we will not pretend otherwise. What is written below is what the role is for and what would make somebody right for it, published early on purpose so you can decide whether it is worth watching.
The work
Develop faculty collaborations, visiting appointments, internships and scoped sponsored research. Match each relationship to a named internal technical owner. Coordinate publication, IP, data access, student supervision and equipment commitments with the institution.
The milestone
In your first 90 days, establish a research brief, a repeatable collaboration process and three qualified laboratory conversations.
Evidence
Bring experience in research partnerships, academic programs or scientific operations. Strong listening, dependable follow-through and respect for academic independence are essential.
Evidence, not credentials. We are describing work you can point at, in whatever form it exists.
The exercise
Design a small university collaboration with a publishable question, useful engineering deliverable and a fair division of responsibilities.
