Era's Researcher in Residence program is a 2–3 month, part-time residency for deeply curious humans who want to go into full lab mode on ideas about the future of computing. You'll explore a research question of your choosing, aligned with Era's vision, and produce work that tells a story about what the world can be. This isn't a traditional research role buried in a lab. Your work will directly inform Era's product roadmap. The best residency projects become the features, device categories, and interaction paradigms that Era later ships. The output format is flexible: working prototypes, research papers, design frameworks, speculative design artifacts, technical feasibility studies, or public-facing pieces. The goal: research that makes people say "I want to live in that world."
