## Deputy Director of Assessment

Data Carpentry seeks to hire a full-time staff member to direct its assessment activities.
This person will design, implement, monitor, analyse, and report on a comprehensive system of metrics
to help the Data Carpentry project and its sibling organization, Software Carpentry,
evaluate the impact and effectiveness of the training they offer,
to both learners and instructors.

Data Carpentry is a not-for-profit organization developing and teaching workshops
on fundamental data skills needed to conduct research.
Its mission is to provide researchers high-quality, domain-specific training
covering the full lifecycle of data-driven research.
Data Carpentry lessons are intentionally domain specific, and span the life, physical, and social sciences.
Data Carpentry workshops create an environment friendly to learners who have little to no prior computational experience,
and are designed to empower researchers to apply the skills learned to data driven discovery in their own research.

The Deputy Director of Assessment position is initially funded for 2 years through a grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.
The incumbent will be hired and paid as a contractor of NumFOCUS,
Data Carpentry’s fiscal sponsor and grant funds administrator.
Review of applications will begin May 20, 2016, and the position will remain open until filled.

### Job Description

As the Deputy Director of Assessment,
you will have primary responsibility for developing methods and standards for the evaluation of all aspects of Data Carpentry's training
including relevance of curriculum, learning experience, long-term adoption of tools and skills and impact on productivity and reproducibility.
You will also work with the Software Carpentry Foundation to build evaluation of the instructor development program,
including effectiveness of instructor training and mentorship
and the longer term impacts of instructor training on career development for instructors.
You will also have the opportunity to collaborate with the training coordinators from related organizations,
such as ELIXIR, GOBLET, and BD2K,
to coordinate strategies and initiatives.

The role will involve occasional travel in Europe and North America, and possibly elsewhere.
The role reports to the Executive Director of Data Carpentry
and will collaborate closely with both the Executive and Associate Directors.

### Qualifications

Candidates should possess a graduate degree in a relevant field.
They should also have personal experience in teaching and in educational assessment
or the evaluation of organizational effectiveness.

In addition to being self-motivated,
candidates must have excellent organization and communication skills
and be able to work well as part of a distributed team.

### Salary

Salary will be competitive and commensurate with experience.

### Location

Data Carpentry is a distributed organization,
so the Deputy Director may work from any location with reliable Internet
(though for logistical reasons,
we would prefer someone resident in a North American-compatible timezone).

### Applications

To apply,
please submit a cover letter (up to two pages) and CV (up to four pages)
to [<EMAIL>](mailto:<EMAIL>).
We will request names and contact information for references after reviewing applications.
