Join the Collective
Milliomics is recruiting scientists, engineers, designers, and students who want to work on open software that real researchers will use. Co-author papers, ship real tools, and help shape what science looks like in the AI era.
Who We're Looking For
We're an open collective. If your background isn't on this list but you care about building tools for science, reach out anyway.
Bring research questions and domain expertise. Help us build tools that solve problems you actually have.
Python, C++, web, Unity, ML — we work across the stack. Strong opinions about clean code welcome.
Scientific UX, data visualization, and educational design. Help us make tools that scientists love to use.
Undergraduate or graduate. Get research experience, mentorship, and a chance to ship work that real labs use.
What You Get
We can't promise a salary — we're an open collective, not a company. Here's what we can offer.
Current Openings
These are the most concrete needs across our active projects. Don't see a fit? Email us anyway — we'll match you to something.
Help build interactive 3D missions and the gameplay loop for Neuroanatomy Adventure.
Shape the curriculum, design missions, and help us validate the educational impact.
Add new spatial analysis methods and help users put them to work on real datasets.
Write tutorials, polish the docs, and help new users get productive faster.
Open-ended research roles for undergrad and grad students. Bring an idea or join an existing thread.
Send us a short email — tell us who you are, what you're interested in, and what you'd like to work on. A link to your GitHub, portfolio, or recent work is helpful but not required.
contact@milliomics.comWe try to respond within a week. Persistent? Just send a follow-up.
FAQ
Generally no — we're an open collective without ongoing funding. Specific projects with grants may offer paid roles; we'll say so explicitly.
Whatever you can give. Some contributors put in a few hours a month; others go deep on a single project. We work async and remote.
Possibly. We've worked with students through independent study and capstone arrangements. Talk to us early so we can coordinate with your program.
Distributed. Contributors come from universities and labs in multiple countries. Everything is remote-friendly.
No. Many of our roles are pure software, science, or design. The "AI for science" framing is about what we're building, not a prerequisite for joining.
Even better. Email us with the idea — if it fits the mission, we'll figure out how to build it together.
