If you’re choosing a research group to join, pay just as much - if not more - attention to the culture and mentoring style in the group than the research.
You can succeed in lots of research areas or projects, but it’s tough to succeed in an unsupportive environment.
The BIRD team is growing!
If you are a research scientist who loves building software and prototypes, moves fast and strives for high standards, prepare your portfolio+cv, and apply.
