With the support of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, we now have the opportunity to hire an Associate Director. The Associate Director is one of the two key roles providing leadership to Data Carpentry’s core efforts and is expected to shape the organization’s operational functioning, influence training, and contribute to strategic planning. The main focus of the Associate Director’s role will be in working with Software Carpentry on community engagement and education as well as overseeing Data Carpentry communications.

Mainly though, we’re looking for someone who is passionate about education and training and its ability to empower researchers to conduct data-driven research. This person should also have a background in education or research and experience with volunteer communities and demonstrated leadership. This obviously includes many people on this list, and we would love, love, love applications from Software and Data Carpentry instructors. If you have any questions about the position, please don't hesitate to contact me at tkteal@datacarpentry.org
