Mycelium is a rapidly expanding network that is looking for driven and talented individuals to Reimagine Trust. We are a collective of software engineers, data scientists, economists and creatives, whom are committed to the future of a decentralised web. Our efforts focus on two distinct areas: data and finance. Mycelium is a globally distributed company with offices in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Sunshine Coast and team members in London, Lisbon, Helsinki, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Bangalore, Toronto, Montréal, Dallas, Chicago, Austin and New York.

We are looking for a general purpose researcher to join our team who will be responsible for the exploration and innovation of a wide range of topics, as required by the Reputation team.

This is a very open ended role, with no limitation on the involvement and ownership available for you to take on. As such, there are exceptional opportunities for growth under the guidance of the Mycelium Research team. Areas of research can range from mathematics to philosophy to economics, with specific involvement in: the RepScore function, game theory, governance, reputation, and tokenomics. Further information is available on our careers page here.

This role will largely involve working on the Repscore. The whitepaper and litepaper for the Repscore model can be found here and here. This role will be responsible for developing the model and applying it to new use-cases. If you want the role, come to the interview with a deep understanding of the model and a critique for how it can be improved.

As a decentralised organisation, this role can be based anywhere in the world. See specifics in Requirements. #LI-Remote

Requirements

Must be capable and comfortable with extended periods of exploratory research with limited guidance.
Must be a highly self-driven person.
Must have innate curiosity, and passion for research.
Strong ability to quickly learn unfamiliar topics.
Strong ability to provide informed and thoughtful advice based upon knowledge gained.
Must be comfortable with a dynamic working environment and adapting to changes in the team's research needs.
Must have a quantitative background and be able to deeply understand the Repscore model.

Mycelium is the network substrate for a host of growth-stage projects, each focusing on unique and challenging problems. Composed predominantly of software engineers, economists and creatives, Mycelium knows the impact of Web3 will be profound and irreversibly change our future.

Our Values

Transparency
Our mission is to 'Reimagine Trust'. In order to reimagine trust, one must begin by reimagining transparency. We believe that the future of corporate practice is for entities to become radically transparent.

Innovation
We are innovation maximalists looking to build on the cutting edge of technology with global solutions. Everything about Mycelium - from its products and services to its management of people and workflows - has innovation sewn into it.

Freedom
Freedom is the value which secures the meaningful expression of all others. To operate freely in the world and not jerk to the strings of another is axiomatic. There is no life without freedom, at least not one worth living.

Independence
Freedom is the right to walk in any direction; independence is choosing the right direction. To blaze a trail with an independence of thought and purpose is something that few have the courage to do. To walk independently is the greatest of privileges.

Community
Strong individuals can be great, but strong communities can be greater still. Choosing the right community will determine how fully you abide by these values. Never underestimate the power of a community who shares the same North Star.

Mycelium focuses on Blockchain / Cryptocurrency. Their company has offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Adelaide. They have a mid-size team that's between 51-200 employees.
