You're a PhD, Where Do You Really Want to Work? We combine the energy and enthusiasm of a startup with the research rigor of a university and the potential for impact of a large company. Research problems come from internal sources, government labs, academia, and large companies. We entered this business because we love to solve computational research problems. Do you?

Please note that currently there are no open PhD Level Research positions. Feel free to apply, but note that the likelihood of a response will be extrememly low until a position becomes available.
