Parallel Squared Technology Institute (PTI) is a non-profit research institute aiming to catalyze a leap in protein analysis technology and use it to explore new biological frontiers. PTI supports open research and educational opportunities supporting rapid career development for scientists, engineers, and mathematicians.

Why? Protein dysfunctions directly cause many diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease. Yet, proteins remain understudied because of technological hurdles.

How? To resolve these limitations, PTI will develop mass tags enabling a new framework for multiplexed protein analysis by mass spectrometry towards achieving 100-fold increase in throughput. Scientists at and collaborating with the institute will use these gains to directly investigate disease mechanisms and resolve problems that have proven intractable for decades. Our proof of principle technology and strategies are outlined at: parallelsq.org.

New career opportunities

Members of PTI will be supported with industry-level resources to lead research projects and disseminate their discoveries and innovations to the broader biomedical community through frequent publications, presentations, and submissions to public data portals.

Summary of Position

We are looking for an exceptional fundraising and development lead who will spearhead efforts to grow and diversify the organization’s funding base.

This role will oversee the development of a robust and sustainable pipeline of philanthropic, corporate, and institutional partners. The Head of Development will shape cultivation strategies, manage high-level relationships, and ensure the smooth execution of development operations to ensure PTI’s long-term growth and impact. To be successful in this position, this person will need a professional background in biotech or biomedical focused organizations, or academia with emphasis on working with lead researchers in STEM fields to secure funding for large scale endeavors. We are open to remote, hybrid, or in-person work. In order to be seriously considered for this position, we require a cover letter as part of the candidate’s application.
