Cultivarium is a Convergent Research Focused Research Organization (FRO) with a mission to accelerate the adoption of novel microorganisms for biotechnology. We are looking for experts who can contribute both individually and as part of a team to create tangible solutions for a ‘moonshot’ project. You will be part of a close-knit, driven team of scientists and engineers that are building technological infrastructure for the cultivation of non-model microorganisms, to open new avenues for science, technology, medicine, and agriculture.

Cultivarium is seeking a highly organized, proactive, and detail-oriented Community Project Coordinator for our flagship initiative aiming to expand access to non-model fungi. This role sits at the intersection of community engagement and project management. The Community Project Coordinator will serve as an internal and external operational hub for the program, coordinating, planning, tracking, documenting, and managing communications across a multi-stakeholder research effort involving the global fungal research community.

This is a full-time, on-site position well-suited for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, research-driven environment and enjoys bringing structure, clarity, and momentum to ambitious scientific projects.
Cultivarium aims to help fill a structural gap in today's R&D system. We enable fundamental research that requires unusual levels of scale and coordination that is not yet rapidly monetizable by industry. We’re bringing together top talent from academia, industry, and startups to build a new model for innovative R&D. We identify high-impact scientific or technical research and development opportunities, ultimately defining and launching these projects as Focused Research Organizations.
