Dear Celia,
I contacted you in December about posting a job ad for my company Akili Interactive Labs.
We have since updated the job add to attract a wider set of applicants and were hoping you
would be willing to re-post the job add.
I've attached the new add.
Thank you for your help.
Best,
Jeffrey

Subject: Looking for students/alumni interested in a Data Scientist position
Dear Celia Raia,
My company, Akili Interactive Labs, is looking for a full-time Data Scientist to join our
team early next year. We think that the Department of Psychology at Harvard is likely to
have many excellent potential candidates and we want to reach out to any interested
graduate level students and alumni.
I have attached the job add, which has all of the details of the position.
Here is a brief company overview of Akili:
"Akili Interactive
(
www.akiliinteractive.com<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http…)
is aiming to commercialize an entirely new class of medical product that combines rigorous
scientific validation with engaging video game mechanics. We are creating the
next-generation of cognitive assessments and neural therapeutics (what we call
"Electronic Medicine"TM) based on cutting-edge neuroscience and validated by
clinical trials. Akili's flagship product, the Project: EVO platform, is based on
technology developed at UCSF that was featured as the cover
article<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.nature.c…
in Nature in September 2013, under the headline "Game Changer". "
Would you be able and willing to distribute our job add to your students?
Thank you for your time and please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Bower
