Jobs at Convergent Research

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.

Lead and mentor a small operations team to support scientific programs. Drive project planning, risk management, and cross-program coordination. Build scalable operational and financial systems, oversee contracts and vendor relationships, forecast resources, and strengthen execution discipline. Provide people leadership, coaching, and operational best practices in an onsite Alameda, CA research environment.

Lead and scale communications across a portfolio of Focused Research Organizations and Convergent's own channels: coach scientific founders, run workshops, manage internal newsletters and digital channels, curate vendor networks, coordinate press, and build repeatable systems using AI and operations discipline.
