Hi folks, We are looking for volunteers to act as Curriculum Advisors for Software Carpentry and three Data Carpentry curricula.
Curriculum Advisors provide high-level oversight, vision, and leadership for a curriculum and guide large-scale updates. Each Curriculum Advisory Committee (CAC) is supported by a group of Lesson Maintainers, who focus on day-to-day maintenance of the lessons. We are looking for Curriculum Advisors for the Data Carpentry Ecology <https://datacarpentry.org/lessons/#ecology-workshop>, Social Science <https://datacarpentry.org/lessons/#social-science-curriculum>, and Image Processing <https://datacarpentry.org/lessons/#image-processing-curriculum> (currently in beta <https://carpentries.org/blog/2022/05/image-processing-beta-announcement/>) curricula, and for at least one more member of the existing CAC for Software Carpentry <https://software-carpentry.org/>, to act as Secretary for that group. You can read more about the roles and responsibilities within a CAC in the community handbook <https://carpentries.org/blog/2022/06/curriculum-advisor-committee-applications/%5Bhttps://docs.carpentries.org/topic_folders/lesson_development/curriculum_advisory_committees.html%5D(https://docs.carpentries.org/topic_folders/lesson_development/curriculum_advisory_committees.html)>. This is an excellent way to have an impact within the community with a relatively small and flexible commitment of time. The deadline for applications is 22 July. You can read more about the call for applications in a recent blog post <https://carpentries.org/blog/2022/06/curriculum-advisor-committee-applications/>, and fill out this short form to apply to become a Curriculum Advisor <https://forms.gle/4ZLq1mh74r98AeeN9>. Please get in touch with me (tobyhod...@carpentries.org <mailto:tobyhod...@carpentries.org>) if you have questions about Curriculum Advisory Committees, Lesson Program governance, or anything else related to The Carpentries curriculum.
