  • principal investigator (PI)
  • starting spring 2022 for a six month period (pending grant funding)
  • pay rate range – $25-35 per hour depending on skill level

The needs of the PI are technical only, and no business deliverables are required.  That said, the candidate can, if they choose, gain exposure to the overall business strategy of the company.  The PI will be required to write reports to be filed on regular basis that include expense reports and product development progress reports to the granting body . The PI will also need to communicate with everyone in the company as needed for product development.

There is no specific area of expertise sought, purely the ability to manage a technical project.  The ideal candidate is looking to gain exposure to product development and entrepreneurship in the medtech space.
