Careers · collaborators

We're hiring direction, not slide decks.

HERD is an open-science infrasound network born in Phuket — tsunami and volcano early warning, plus humane jellyfish R&D. We need specialists who want hard, meaningful work on real coastlines.

Early stage, stated plainly: mix of paid contracts, equity conversations, and mission-driven volunteers. Remote-friendly worldwide; field work in Thailand and the Andaman when relevant. No visa promises in this listing — we'll discuss case by case.
