Hi all, see below an education-focused job opportunity at the eScience Institute, University of Washington, Seattle. We hold Carpentry trainings every quarter and have based many of our educational efforts on the carpentries model.
*The eScience Institute has an outstanding opportunity for a full-time Technical Education Specialist.* The mission of the *eScience Institute at the University of Washington* is to engage researchers across disciplines in developing and applying advanced computational methods and tools to real world problems in data-driven research. The eScience Institute engages in research and training programs of a variety of durations across an array of subjects with the aim of advocating for and spreading proficiency in the methods and tools of data-driven research. This, in turn, supports and grows the impact of data science across engineering and scientific disciplines. Certain methods and tools are generically applicable to many research domains due to common patterns in compute implementation. From astronomy to zoology, scientists from all fields need to organize, clean, analyze and otherwise manage data. They need to appropriate and manage computing resources. They need to publish findings and collaborate with other researchers. And they need to work with, and frequently develop, software. The *Technical Education Specialist (TES)* will work collaboratively to sustain the eScience Institute as a primary data science educational resource at the UW, serving faculty, students, researchers, and staff spanning all schools and departments including medicine. The TES work profile will be driven by grant-scale projects and sub-projects therein concerned with educating researchers spanning a diversity of domains from neuroscience to astronomy to computer science to oceanography to molecular engineering to epidemiology. These educational responsibilities will center on thematic methods and corresponding technologies in research computing. The TES will therefore need considerable technical depth to work with persons from these different domains and contexts, adaptively managing project execution. The TES will create and manage delivery of technical content for eScience educational programs and services, organize and lead training events that teach essential research computing skills, and keep pace with developing tools and technologies for data-driven research. The TES will communicate project status and issues affecting progress to senior management, project sponsors and project teams. In view of the eScience Institute’s expanding leadership role in the global academic community and planned growth in outreach staffing we anticipate that the TES responsibilities will include both supervisory work within eScience and collaboration and coordination with other universities and academic institutions. The TES will contribute to the Institute’s growing opportunities for training and outreach, centered on thematic methods and corresponding technologies in research computing. The TES will manage and deliver services for new and existing programs, regularly performing professional level program administration and management of a non-routine nature.
