The Ginkgo Creative Residency

3 months

Residents will receive a $5000 monthly stipend.

Project development budget will be based on project scope.

• They want to hear from you if you are a futures-oriented practitioner of materials, processes, products, interactions or systems. Ginkgo welcomes creative perspectives across analog, digital and biological realms. If you find it difficult to define your practice, they get it, so don’t be afraid to apply!
• A well-developed understanding of the intersections of design and science is essential. Experience with biology and laboratory tools and processes is not required, but is advantageous depending on what you hope to achieve during your time at Ginkgo.
• The dates of the residency can be flexible, but Ginkgo would like you to be in residence at our headquarters in Boston, USA, for three months during the last half of 2018.
• International applicants are welcome, and Ginkgo will work with you to secure a visa if necessary, although they cannot offer any guarantees that it will be approved.
• If you are shortlisted for an interview, Ginkgo asks that you keep the last week of May free for a conversation with the team (via Google Hangouts).
• Ginkgo also feels it’s important to point out the obvious here. There’s a serious lack of diversity in our industry, and that needs to change. Their goal is to help drive that change. They hope to continue to build an industry whose culture promotes inclusion and embraces how rewarding it is to work with people from all walks of life. Ginkgo welcomes proposals from people of all backgrounds, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, age, or ability.
