Position Summary

The Research Computing Program Manager will lead the activities of the Foundations for Research Computing program. The aim of the program is to train Columbia researchers in computational skills and overall computational literacy. As part of the Columbia University Libraries' Digital Scholarship unit, the Program Manager will administer the program for researchers in close cooperation with other colleagues in the Libraries, Columbia University Information Technology (CUIT), and the Office of the Executive Vice President for Research (EVPR).

The Program Manager will oversee a training program for graduate students and postdocs in research computing while continuing to identify training needs for that community, and adapting and developing the program to meet those changing needs. The Program Manager will direct and grow the community of trained Software Carpentry instructors to plan and facilitate workshops, boot camps, and additional training opportunities at the novice and intermediate levels. The Program Manager will maintain an existing community-facing Python User Group and have the opportunity to develop other community-facing programming. Partnering with colleagues in the Libraries, the Program Manager will additionally develop and maintain continuous relationships and communications channels with academic departments across the University in order to survey administrators, faculty, and students about their ever-evolving needs for computational literacy, and methods for meeting these expressed needs. The Program Manager serves as Columbia's representative on the membership council of The Carpentries, an organizational partner in training researchers in computational skills.

The Program Manager will work closely with the advisory committee composed of faculty and administrator stakeholders that report to the faculty-led Shared Research Computing Policy Advisory Committee.

*Subject to current circumstances and business needs, we may support flexible and hybrid/work arrangements. Options will be discussed during the interview process.*
