I couldn't be more excited to announce that in July I'll be joining Microsoft Research New England for a postdoc in Socio-Technical Systems. This little family is moving to BOSTON BABYYY!! It's really a dream come true that I'll get to work alongside @nancybaym @tarleton @zephoria, Mary Gray and my fellow postdoccer @chchliu! 🥲🥳✨
I know how lucky I am to have been given this position and how tough the job market is. Sending love and solidarity to everyone on the job market at the moment 💞💪

A little bit more about the #AOIR Mastodon instance:
https://fossacademic.tech/2023/03/03/AOIR-social.html
It's all happening, AOIRfriends...
A few months ago, I wrote about the possibility of the Association on Internet Researchers running their own Mastodon instance. I discussed the major concerns the organization had about running such an instance, and the direction the project is heading. I’m excited to announce that AOIR.social is going to happen. In fact, it’s live right now, but we’re not actively signing up AOIR members just yet. First, we’re going to let our volunteer moderators join to learn the tooling (and the tooting). And I have to do some work on preemptively blocking instances that don’t share our values. Oh, and we have to finalize our Code of Conduct (both for the Mastodon instance and for the organization as a whole). And I want to investigate signing the [Mastodon Server Covenant]. (I want this to be a respectable part of the fediverse, after all). There’s probably more that I’m not thinking about, but in any case… it’s happening, people! So, lots to do! Stay tuned, AOIRfriends!
Reminder: #AoIR (Association of Internet Researchers) Executive Committee Nominations open 11 March. There was real interest in (re)shaping the organisation at #AoIR2022, which will likely carry to #AoIR2023; the most direct way to shape AoIR is stepping up to a leadership role! Details: http://listserv.aoir.org/pipermail/air-l-aoir.org/2023-February/045365.html
I, as well as the current serving Exec, are all happy to chat about what our experiences of the various roles we currently occupy.
