As Project Manager, your key responsibilities will be coordinating and managing development and design teams that are building, maintaining, and enhancing our software products. You will collaborate closely with the Principal Investigator (PI) and R&D Manager of the Gehlenborg Lab to ensure teams meet defined milestones and deliverables.

The Gehlenborg Lab has an international reputation for creating high-impact data visualization tools. We are driven to solve the most challenging design and engineering problems in biomedical data science. We value diversity, creativity, and initiative in a highly collaborative and interdisciplinary work environment. We would love to have you on our team!

• Regularly check in with collaborators and provide weekly updates to various stakeholders about progress and adjustments to timelines.
