Computational Ecologist
Open positions
OXMAN is seeking individuals operating across scales and domains. Successful applicants embody stellar technical skills in their respective field(s), can self-direct, and demonstrate a unique “language” of computing (software) / fabricating (hardware) / growing (wetware), or a combination thereof.
- Have produced and can present a prolific corpus of digital and/or physical expressions rooted in process-driven design;
- Exemplify a passion for systems-based thinking with a wide range of potential applications for their work;
- Personify an appreciation for science;
- Synergy between biology and technology in research, practice, or their unity.
Our principles
We pursue the profound
We are explorers of profound questions. We work with energy, enthusiasm, and passion, unafraid to take risks and never letting the ‘impossible’ get in the way of the scale of the impact we wish to create. We actively share our vision with others through our work and its activation, revealing both new knowledge and hidden magic, and becoming a source of inspiration accessible to all.
We mediate dichotomies
Entanglement yields more than segregation. Design and R&D, made and grown, Nature and humanity—our work not only demands this interdisciplinarity but also is made more meaningful through the mediation of these tensions. By seeing in gradients instead of absolutes, we allow each domain to augment the other, believing that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

We balance the timely and the timeless
We consider and leverage the past and future in design. We meet timeless challenges with timely tools, employing the cutting-edge technologies and techniques of the modern world to address age-old questions. We meet timely challenges with timeless tools, integrating Indigenous traditions in our approach and inviting billion-year-old evolutionary processes into our work as our co-designers.
We nurture integrity
We have a powerful internal compass that we listen to and nurture. It points us to honesty, virtue, and empathy. We consider the impact of our work on humanity, the natural world, and the future of both at every step, understanding that we are accountable for our actions.
