Join us as a Launch Manager at Convergent Research! We are creating Focused Research Organizations (FROs) – moonshot science projects that may change the trajectory of progress in human health, climate change, biosecurity, and economic growth. As a Launch Manager, you will oversee the entire launch process of FROs, from idea to company. You will ensure that each FRO’s unique needs are met by juggling multiple tasks simultaneously, coordinating with various stakeholders, and constantly refining the launch process for efficiency and effectiveness.

About us
New types of organization are needed to accelerate scientific progress. Academic research groups and startup companies are essential to science and technology development. But there are some projects they just aren’t suited for. A university astronomy lab couldn’t have launched the Hubble Space Telescope on its own, nor would a venture-backed startup have built the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Hubble and CERN illustrate a common pattern in science: a need for projects that are bigger than an academic lab can undertake, more coordinated than a loose consortium or themed department, and not directly profitable enough to be a venture-backed startup or industrial R&D project. Focused Research Organizations (FROs) are a new type of scientific institution designed to fill this gap.
