Hours of operation 

RISR is a remote-first company and the vast majority of our work is completed remotely/online. This requires a computer, reliable internet, and computer literacy. Most team meetings occur on Tuesday or Wednesday mornings. While flexibility in setting a regular work schedule is permitted, your task supervisor and/or the PI must be available during your shifts.
