The CODATA-RDA Schools of Research Data Science (SoRDS) is seeking

.

Co-chairs play a central role in managing SoRDS operations (visit
https://www.datascienceschools.org/ for more information). They collaborate
with other co-chairs to oversee training events, secure funding, invite and
support instructors and assistants, raise SoRDS’ visibility, shape
strategic direction, and develop the curriculum.
The responsibilities associated with the position are the following:

   - Meetings: Co-chairs meet on a regular basis. They have a monthly
   meeting on strategy and a monthly meeting on operational logistics.
   Co-chairs are expected to get to the majority of these meetings and
   contribute to them. Chairing of the sessions is done on a rolling basis.
   - Training events: co-chairs will take part in the rollout of SoRDS
   training events. Each training event takes a number of months to set up and
   roll out. This means a co-chair can have initial tentative discussions with
   interested parties,  engage in discussions with a local organising
   committee about logistics for a planned training event, invite external
   instructors and helpers, advise the local organising committee about
   appropriate local instructors and helpers and  coordinate the assessment of
   applicants. They will typically attend the training, to ensure that all is
   going well. They will also ensure that funders are acknowledged and any
   promised requirements from funders are met. For physical events there are
   two co-chairs that are closely involved with an individual school. Large
   online events (i.e. the ECR schools) will have multiple co-chairs
   associated with it, particularly with respect to attending the live
   sessions or being on the forum. The annual event in Trieste also acts as a
   key workshop for trying out new ideas and hence all co-chairs are closely
   involved in its running.
   - Raise the profile of the SoRDS: Co-chairs will be expected to attend
   meetings such as the RDA plenary sessions and IDW and to raise the profile
   of the schools. This will involve giving talks, contributing to or writing
   academic papers, contributing to the schools newsletter and raising its
   profile on social media.
   - Strategy: The schools have an ambitious vision of growth with a
   planned expansion to a number of staff working on a full time basis on this
   project. In collaboration with the Advisory Board (AB), the co-chairs will
   develop strategies to finance its own infrastructure and business model so
   that it can achieve this vision.

This is a volunteer based position, in which most of the co-chairs combine
their academic or industry jobs with the work related to the schools.
Please reach out to codata-dataschools-chairs at lists.codata.org if you have
any questions.

Deadline to apply: Nov 30th, 2023


Thanks,

Asha
