CLAVIR
Join Us

Work on the foundations.

CLAVIR is a small lab, and we are interested in people who want to build the groundwork of a field rather than the next demonstration. Research here is published openly and credited to the people who did it.

Directions we are hiring into

We look for depth in at least one pillar and genuine curiosity about the other two.

Contact-enabled hardware

Hands built to seek and sustain contact rather than avoid it — and to make what happens during that contact observable.

Contact-rich datasets

Data that captures sustained physical interaction, not just the collision-free trajectories between contacts.

Contact-native AI architecture

Models whose representations and objectives are built around contact, instead of treating it as noise to be suppressed.

We do not keep a list of formally posted openings. If your work fits one of these directions, write to us — that is the whole process.

Collaborations and visits

Our researchers keep ties across universities and industry, and we welcome collaborations with academic groups, visiting researchers, and students. Shared datasets and reproducible hardware make this easier than it usually is.
