The Kolabtree Blog

フリーランスの科学者のためのプラットフォーム。ネイチャー誌に掲載されたKolabtree

自然, in its recent article, “フレキシブル・ワーキング。ギグ・エコノミーの科学“, lists コラブツリー as one of the platforms through which organizations can benefit by consulting freelance scientists. We’re delighted to have received recognition from one of the most reputed scientific journals in the world!

Over the last decade, there has been a huge rise in the number of on-demand workers worldwide. リサーチ labs, government and non-profit organizations, large corporations, and small businesses are increasingly outsourcing their projects due to various reasons: geographical restrictions, financial/policy barriers and lack of access to specialized resources. コラブツリー は、組織が科学的な専門知識に簡単にアクセスできるようにすることで、こうした障壁を取り除き、コラボレーションを促進するプラットフォームの一つです。

ネイチャー誌の記事の著者であるRoberta Kwok氏が、フリーランスの科学者とKolabtreeについて語るのを聞いて サイエンスフライデー 

Our global pool of experts consult on various subject areas — データサイエンス, バイオテクノロジー, フードサイエンス, statistics, writing, editing, and more. Most of our experts have PhDs, an some have had decades of industry/research experience. We asked some of our experts to share their experiences as freelance scientists, and how Kolabtree has been of value to them. Here are their thoughts.

リチャード・ブラッドフォード公認ヘルスデータアナリスト、統計コンサルティング会社設立者 

“Working as a freelance scientist is both professionally and personally very rewarding. One of the most appealing aspects of this arrangement is the variety of projects you get to work on. You get to learn about different fields and endeavors and are therefore challenged to be constantly learning and researching. My experiences have all been very positive, the clients I’ve had the pleasure of working with have been professional and friendly and a joy to work with.

The folks at Kolabtree have developed a very user friendly platform that allows me to review and bid on projects. Kolabtree has been an excellent partner in helping me connect to clients who need my expertise. I’ve enjoyed my relationship with the Kolabtree group and am looking forward to continuing this mutually beneficial relationship. I like the idea that all three parties, the client, the expert and Kolabtree work together in a way that provides value to the client, is fair to the expert, and beneficial to Kolabtree.”

エミール・プリコップ経験豊富なシステムエンジニア、ソフトウェア開発者

“I am currently working as lecturer at Petroleum-Gas University of Ploiesti, Romania. This job is very challenging, but it lets me enough free time for collaborating with contractors and other researchers on Kolabtree. Before finding out about Kolabtree I never thought I can work as a scientist from my home on a freelance basis. When I found Kolabtree, which is a niche platform, I was convinced that it is the platform I’ve missed for years.

私は以前、フリーランスのバックエンドプログラマーとして働いていましたが、まさか自宅で研究者として働けるとは想像もしていませんでした。フリーランスの研究者として働くことは、最初から思っていたほど簡単ではありません。時間と締め切りを慎重に管理しなければなりませんが、夜遅くても朝早くても、思いついたときにすぐに仕事ができる自由があります。また、自分で好きなプロジェクトを選ぶことができるのもいいですね。時々、研究室や研究チームが恋しくなることがありますが、自宅に小さな電子機器の研究室を持とうと努力することで、この欠点を克服しています。

Kolabtreeでの経験は、私にとって素晴らしいものでした。Kolabtreeのおかげで、世界中の人々によって始められた非常に興味深くやりがいのあるプロジェクトを見つけることができました。Kolabtreeは、世界の反対側に位置する研究者や科学者の間に、本当の意味でのつながりを作ることができたと言えるでしょう。

このプラットフォームは、コントラクターとフリーランサーをつなぐだけでなく、信頼できる第三者としての役割も果たしているので、自分だけではなく、すべてのプロジェクトが真剣で、最後には自分の仕事に見合った報酬が支払われるという安心感があります。

By using Kolabtree I managed to find challenging projects that allowed me to think out of the box. The feedback received from my clients helped me to gain much more trust in myself and in my knowledge. Also, the successful projects I contracted on Kolabtree were a source of financial stability in the last period.”

ブライアン・チャウ, フリーランスのフードサイエンティスト 

“I became a freelance food scientist to subsidize my graduate school education in food systems and society. As a freelancer, I’m not tied to any set hours which allows me to do both the work I love while enhancing my education. As a freelance food scientist, there are times that are difficult in finding clients. Kolabtree.com is a free and easy way for me to increase my visibility to potential clients whom I may never have had access. Typically, scientists aren’t hired as freelancers unless they are well connected or have more than 10 years of experience. However, Kolabtree.com allows me to be busy with a stream of clients through their easy to use platform and support from their staff.”
