Funded short course opportunity: I'm excited to announce that applications are open for the next #URSSI winter school on research software engineering, 15-17 December in Portland, Oregon: https://urssi.us/blog/2025/11/05/applications-now-open-for-the-2025-urssi-winter-school-in-research-software-engineering/

Open to grad students, postdocs, and other early career researchers (or beyond!) looking to increase their skills in developing research software. Fully funded.

Quick turnaround—applications close 21 November, so apply soon!

I'm Associate Editor-in-Chief at @joss for Physics & Engineering, and as part of our current call for editors I'm looking for folks who can contribute in my track.

We particularly need folks with expertise in the areas of energy systems, sustainability, nuclear science, and manufacturing.

I'm happy to answer any questions about JOSS or the experience serving as an editor!
