Sloan Foundation June 26, 2017 CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 26, 2017 — Julia Computing (https://newsletter.juliacomputing.com/sendy/l/2ITN9ryYlH0aXrqgRXyMgw/8925T1wXsRsrd8tU724fUm763Q/xfx4ma7Un9CL1nmHswFWsw) has been granted $910,000 by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to support open-source Julia development, including $160,000 to promote diversity in the Julia community. The grant will support Julia training, adoption, usability, compilation, package development, tooling and documentation. The diversity portion of the grant will fund a new full-time Director of Diversity Initiatives plus travel, scholarships, training sessions, workshops, hackathons and Webinars. Further information about the new Director of Diversity Initiatives position is below for interested applicants. Julia Computing CEO Viral Shah says, “Diversity of backgrounds increases diversity of ideas. With this grant, the Sloan Foundation is setting a new standard of support for diversity which we hope will be emulated throughout STEM.” Diversity efforts in the Julia community have been led by JuliaCon Diversity Chair, Erica Moszkowski. According to Moszkowski, “This year, we awarded $12,600 in diversity grants to help 16 participants travel to, attend and present at JuliaCon 2017. Those awards, combined with anonymous talk review, directed outreach, and other efforts have paid off. To give one example, there are many more women attending and presenting than in previous years, but there is a lot more we can do to expand participation from underrepresented groups in the Julia community. This support from the Sloan Foundation will allow us to scale up these efforts and apply them not just at JuliaCon, but much more broadly through Julia workshops and recruitment.” Julia Computing seeks job applicants for Director of Diversity Initiatives. This is a full-time salaried position. The ideal candidate would have the following characteristics: Familiarity with Julia Strong scientific, mathematical or numeric programming skills required – e.g. Julia, Python, R Eager to travel, organize and conduct Julia trainings, conferences, workshops and hackathons Enthusiastic about outreach, developing and leveraging relationships with universities and STEM diversity organizations such as YesWeCode, Girls Who Code, Code Latino and Black Girls Code Strong organizational, communication, public speaking and training skills required Passionate evangelist for Julia, open source computing, scientific computing and increasing diversity in the Julia community and STEM This position is based in Cambridge, MA Interested applicants should send a resume and statement of interest to [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]).
