Chatting to the head of a public sector library research team yesterday, trying to extol the benefits of things like Jupyter notebooks for *transparent* reproducible research, he asked what a job ad would look like to attract someone with the skills needed to make use of the notebooks to support that sort of activity...
...and I was a bit flummoxed as to what to suggest. Looking around at educational initiatives, it seems as likely, if not more likely, that undergrads will gain experience of notebooks from an engineering degree or science degree than students in a computing/compsci degree. That is, stuents who use programming in order to do something else, rather than who code because they're a developer. So recruiting for experience in "python programming" may completely miss the point? Perhaps more useful to say "experience in using, or a willingess to learn, the pandas library for python in a reproducible research environment such as Jupyter". Does anyone have examples of job ads (particularly from outside the scientific computing domain) where the aim was to recruit folk in to get them using Jupyter (or RStudio/Rmd etc) to help start an internal cultural shift to using these tools more widely in a group perhaps dominated by longstanding (and expert) Excel usage? --tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Project Jupyter" group.
