Since 2012, our mission has been to promote gender diversity in the R community. We're a collaborative global network supporting minority gender R enthusiasts — including cis/trans women, trans men, non-binary, genderqueer, and agender individuals — to reach their programming potential.
Today, on International Women's Day, we're sharing who we are.
We are hiring a full-time data scientist at Grant Witness, our project to track grant terminations and changes to U.S. Federal funding for the sciences and public health. We also have upcoming part-time/contract positions.
It's a great team and making real impacts. We're scraping government and court data, re-assembling it, doing forensic analysis and providing data and analysis for activism, journalism, and litigation. Join us!
