Evidence first

Your contribution matters.

Give us enough detail to distinguish your role from the work of the wider team. Strong measurements, useful methods, reliable instruments and careful negative results all matter.

What happens next

A research conversation.

An initial discussion can explore the problem, your approach and the role you could shape. Sending this form expresses interest in a proposed program; it does not create an employment offer.

Keep it public

No private documents needed.

Use public links and a non-confidential description. Please leave out employer secrets, identity documents, health information and private family details. This form does not accept attachments.
