ABOUT ASTERA

Astera is a 501(c)(3) private operating foundation on a mission to help lead humanity’s transition to a scientifically advanced, abundant future. In service of this mission, we run residencies and other internal programming to support the creation of public goods for science and technology, such as open, non-proprietary infrastructure, tools, datasets, and standards.

We believe an abundant future for all is possible – but not inevitable. To bring it about, we must rebuild the machinery of science to be more efficient, scalable, and open. We need visionary leaders who are compelled by the challenge of leveraging all the resources at our disposal to drive transformative change in the way science is funded, conducted, and communicated.

Astera is currently seeking candidates for the roles listed on its main careers page. If you think there's a compelling case for a role we haven't listed there yet, though, we want to hear from you! In addition to your CV, please send us no more than a paragraph on the role you think we should consider -- if we're interested in exploring it further, we'll reach out!

Please note that Astera is headquartered in Emeryville, California, and all roles are in-person. This is not an application to a specific job at Astera, and we will only reply to these submissions if we're interested in further exploration. Please keep an eye on our job board for future role announcements.
