It looks like a great job, but do we need to discuss within the movement about why roles like this tend to be pure-teaching non-research non-tenure-track roles, rather than combined with research?
Our findings at RSE4DS18 considered career structures for data scientists working on the open software stacks that underpin research https://www.software.ac.uk/index.php/blog/2018-04-05-so-you-want-start-data-science-institute-achieving-sustainability and there’s clearly more lobbying needed. -- Dr James Hetherington FBCS Director of Research Engineering The Alan Turing Institute From: Laurent Gatto <lg...@cam.ac.uk> Reply-To: discuss <discuss@lists.carpentries.org> Date: Thursday, 14 June 2018 at 21:03 To: discuss <discuss@lists.carpentries.org> Subject: [discuss] Job: Assistant/Associate/Teaching Professor & Director - Data Science Program Der all, I would like to draw you attention to this position at Northeastern University in Boston, MA. The College of Computer & Information Science and College of Engineering invites applications for the position of Assistant, Associate, or Full Teaching Professor & Director of the Data Science Program beginning in Spring or Summer 2018. This is a full-time, benefits-eligible, non-tenure track position. Primary responsibilities include teaching and overseeing all aspects of the professional MS program in Data Science. From what I know, the successful faculty can take this program in different directions (e.g., strengthening R/open source), and to have the wider carpentries community involved.
