Job Description

Come work with a group of social science professors and graduate students at UCLA, Yale, and Columbia to develop a way to improve how scientists plan research before data collection begins (see declaredesign.org for an early alpha release). We want to bring the tools we’re developing to a wide audience of scientists and students by creating a set of rich tutorials and Data Camp courses, an easy-to-use Shiny app for those without programming skills, and creating a vibrant user community.

Our ideal candidate is creative; loves to code; eats, sleeps, and breathes open source; is excited about working with scientists; and cares deeply about user experience. We seek someone who wants to leave their mark on how scientists use R.

Things we can’t do without:
* R programming, ideally package development;
* BA or MA, ideally in computer science, statistics, or applied social science or hard science field;

Preferred:
* Open source computing skills, such as using Linux, Github, and markdown;
* Shareable code portfolio;
* Shiny development, or willingness to learn it on the job;
* Javascript programming, or willingness to learn it on the job;
* Live in LA or willing to relocate.

You get:
* To shape the direction of the product as we build it;
* Competitive salary with great university benefits;
* Pick your hardware — we want to equip you with what you need to do your best work;
* Flexible environment with a flexible work-from-home policy and vacation policy.

We strongly encourage women and people of color to apply for this position.
