LET’S REIMAGINE WASTE TOGETHER
We are looking for a Research Associate, a curious soul who wants to make a difference with their talent.
Someone who enjoys running chemical experiments. Someone who is comfortable with organic chemistry, synthesis and scientific laboratory instruments.
Someone who wants to grow with a start-up that’s growing, and contribute towards a cause that aims to make our world better.
Someone who is willing to take a risk. Someone who is willing to do.
(BUT THERE MIGHT BE MORE OPPORTUNITIES IN THE FUTURE)
WORKING AT ASHAYA & WITHOUT
Ashaya | WITHOUT is not just another social enterprise or non-profit or start-up. We are an amalgamation of all that and a lot more.
Our why, our values, our guiding principles and our mission are absolute pillars in our journey to make deep, meaningful impact. We have just launched a new brand and our first product, and are trying to build on that.
Right now, we are a small but passionate team, so our work culture is evolving as we speak. We don’t believe in hierarchy and are attempting to build an environment of self-management.
We believe the following traits are currently fuelling our evolution:
PACE
We know we are moving quickly, but it still feels too slow. We want to move faster. We want to compress many years of research into one. But at the same time, we don’t want to break things along the way. Help us find our pace.
OUTCOME
We are outcome-focused. By that we mean it doesn’t really matter how many hours you work, it’s what you do with those hours that matters. Work hours are flexible. Our outcomes, not as much.
EXPLICIT
We are super transparent. There’s no point in sweeping conflicts under a rug. We don’t have much to hide from each other and are consistently evaluating our work, our feelings and our differences. We are our biggest critics.
GROUNDED
No task is too small or too big for any of us to do. At the same time, we play to our strengths, optimizing for the greater goal we are seeking to achieve, all the while keeping our minds open to diverse perspectives.
WHO WOULD BE A GOOD FIT
Ashaya is just getting started but the ethos of Ashaya has been in process for over three years. There is clarity in its vision and its mission after years of field and secondary research. But there is still a lot more to figure out.
We are looking for someone who can support our chemical research process, with an emphasis on organic chemistry. Someone who’s comfortable with glassware, chemicals and laboratory instruments. Someone who brings positive energy to our equation, willing to do even the smallest of asks with conviction.
