Data Carpentry (http://datacarpentry.org) seeks to hire a full-time
staff member to direct its assessment activities. This person will
design, implement, monitor, analyze, and report on a comprehensive
system of metrics to help the Data Carpentry project and its sibling
organization, Software Carpentry, evaluate the impact and effectiveness
of the training they offer, to both learners and instructors.
Data Carpentry is a not-for-profit organization developing and teaching
workshops on fundamental data skills needed to conduct research. Its
mission is to provide researchers high-quality, domain-specific training
covering the full lifecycle of data-driven research. Data Carpentry
lessons are intentionally domain specific, and span the life, physical,
and social sciences. Data Carpentry workshops create an environment
friendly to learners who have little to no prior computational
experience, and are designed to empower researchers to apply the skills
learned to data driven discovery in their own research.
The Deputy Director of Assessment position is initially funded for 2
years through a grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. The
incumbent will be hired and paid as a contractor of NumFOCUS, Data
Carpentry’s fiscal sponsor and grant funds administrator. Review of
applications will begin May 20, 2016, and the position will remain open
until filled.
For a full description, including instructions on how to apply, please
