We are having serious fun. Join us! https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DQS044/lecturer-in-mathematically-structured-programming-790646

The Julia programming language is getting more and more popular as a language for data analysis, modelling and optimisation problems. Getting started with Julia is indeed relatively easy, however making Julia code that runs fast is not so straight forward. This hands-on workshop teaches both best practices as well as making Julia code performant.
Registration is now open! https://www.esciencecenter.nl/event/efficient-computing-in-julia-2/

John Carlos BaezThe arXiv is separating from Cornell University, and is hiring a CEO, who will be paid roughly $300,000/year:
https://jobs.chronicle.com/job/37961678/chief-executive-officer
They say:
"After decades of productive partnership with Cornell University, and with support from the Simons Foundation, arXiv is establishing itself as an independent nonprofit organization, marking the next stage in its 35-year history as a pioneer of open-access science."
The arXivโs current annual budget is approximately $6 million and they employ ~27 staff members, most of whom work remotely, primarily in the U.S. The new chief executive officer (CEO) will be responsible for all aspects of arXiv, including strategic planning, financial management, technical infrastructure, personnel oversight and stakeholder engagement. They will work closely with board member representatives of Cornell University and the Simons Foundation to establish the organizationโs independence.
A firm called Spencer Stuart is recruiting the CEO. For confidential nominations and expressions of interest, you can contact them at [email protected]. The salary is expected to be around $300,000, though the actual salary offered may differ.

EOSC EVERSEWeโre excited to share our latest policy brief: Software as a First Class Citizen in Research!
๐ก Through this document, and through EVERSEโs objectives, we are working to ensure that research software that is developed is credited, has proper documentation and can be reused, reviewed and built on by others.
๐ This brief provides an actionable framework with key recommendations by EVERSE on how this could actually be achieved.
