Overview
Joining Theiss Research means submitting proposals through Theiss Research to funding organizations, succeeding in being awarded a grant, and consequently being hired or employed by Theiss Research. Current postdocs might be particularly interested in joining since they would make valuable experiences that would give them a competitive edge when later applying for faculty positions. Being an independent scientist with Theiss Research offers unique benefits, the most attractive probably being the freedom to live anywhere. The thought of being an independent scientist and thus pursuing a rather unconventional career in science raises also concerns. The most common one is of becoming isolated from the scientific community, which, however, has not turned out to be the case. Other issues also often arise, for example, whether one can become part-time an independent scientist with Theiss Research and part-time remain employed by the current employer, which is generally possible. If you are interested in joining please contact Theiss Research.
