An alum needs help exploring under-explored scientific hypotheses.

(This work is non-commercial and for advancing cancer understanding.)

Assume these ideas are wrong with 99.999% probability.

In the worst case, you earn money to learn about cancer metabolism, molecular biology, immunology, and other fascinating topics and laugh about this job in 10 years.

In the best case, you change conventional wisdom about cancer.

All from your couch.

The job entails answering basic questions, researching past experiments, and designing new experiments.

See example tasks below.

Hours are flexible. Work is remote.

Requirements: passion, open-mindedness, and an analytical mind.

Deep experience is not required and arguably detrimental given our focus to challenge conventional wisdom.

Please send your resume and hourly rate to clarence.hu@stanfordalumni.org.
