Jobs at Convergent Research

Lead one high-impact AI infrastructure security project from rough idea to fundable plan: scope interventions, validate with experts and stakeholders, recruit a founding team, iterate prototypes and strategy, and produce a grant-ready proposal and initial backing to launch the effort.

Operate, maintain, and clean multi-vendor mass spectrometers; design and run proteomics (bottom-up) experiments; prepare protein samples and reagents; analyze and interpret LC-MS/MS data; train team members; manage inventory, purchasing, and documentation; support method development and present results internally and publicly.

Operate, maintain, and set up mass spectrometers; prepare protein samples and lab reagents; manage reagent and sample inventory; analyze and interpret experimental data; present results internally and publicly. Cover letter required for serious consideration.

Lead Convergent's enterprise legal function: set legal and IP strategy, manage a growing legal team and outside counsel, ensure 501(c)(3) and cross-border compliance, support complex transactions (licensing, spinouts, government-funded R&D), build scalable legal systems and playbooks, and advise executive leadership on risk and governance.

Coordinate and monitor shipments and inventory for a distributed-aperture telescope project. Track orders from purchase to delivery, prepare shipping/customs documentation, update daily inventory, flag at-risk or low-stock items, support partner communications, and assist with team travel logistics and general project coordination tasks during a six-month contract.

Lead wetware integration of protein biosensors with surfaces, materials, and readout hardware. Design diagnostic assays to deconvolute biosensor vs. interface failure, run directed evolution, synthesize/adapt interface materials, merge devices with proteins, and automate fabrication/assay workflows to enable in‑vivo studies.

Manage financial operations for Convergent and its FROs, overseeing monthly close, reconciliations, treasury, AR/AP, payroll, grant financial oversight and reporting, audit readiness including 990s, and improvements to systems, controls, and SOPs while translating finance to non-finance stakeholders.

Design and validate novel biosensors combining allosteric switches, reporters, chemical modifications, and bioelectronic interfaces. Lead construct design, guide wet-lab screening, integrate device feedback, and mentor junior scientists and external collaborators to optimize performance and workflows.

Configure, run, validate, and document a high-resolution ROMS-MARBL regional model domain for the US West Coast; run sensitivity experiments and nested subdomains; build reproducible C-Star workflows and public dataset releases; engage stakeholders; publish peer-reviewed results.

Develop and optimize highly sensitive LC-MS/MS proteomics workflows, collaborate across chemistry, biology, and computational teams, analyze and visualize large-scale datasets with Python/R, prepare and analyze brain tissue samples, practice reproducible research, mentor staff, and present and publish findings.

Run and automate wet-lab workflows to evolve, express, purify, and characterize protein biosensors. Perform biophysical and device-relevant assays, generate quantitative performance metrics, support screening and directed evolution, and collaborate with engineering teams to scale reproducible assays.

[C]Worthy is a nonprofit building open-source software and analytics for trustworthy ocean-based carbon removal. They invite general applicants for scientific and technical R&D roles (biogeochemistry, ocean modeling, scientific/software engineering, data science, project/operations management). The team values collaboration, curiosity, tenacity, and in-person collaboration in Boulder (remote/hybrid possible). Benefits include health, wellness, PTO, FSA, and 401(k) with match.
