We work like a startup. We keep things lean, and we're not big on hierarchy. Whether you're fresh out of school or have been in the field for years, everyone gets a say and the freedom to run with their ideas. As such, we are also selective about who joins our crew. We typically ask that you chat with one or two team members in addition to the PI. The rationale is simple: you should be someone others want to work with.
