There are some constraints about this role that I can't do anything about.

We have to require a college degree -- we've gone to bat against this with University HR and lost in the past.

You likely need to be a US citizen and US based, because of the way we work with DOE labs.

@sirosen Very cool sounding!!!

[stumpythemutt@social.linux.pizza]

@sirosen The "not using generative AI" is a big plus!

[gloriouscow@oldbytes.space]

@sirosen any degree or bachelors/masters specifically?

[smontanaro@fosstodon.org]

@sirosen If I was just twenty years younger...

[sirosen@mastodon.social]

@gloriouscow
An associate's works.

If I had my way we wouldn't require a degree at all, but central university HR won't budge on this. It's a bad rule, but not one that I have the power to change.

@sirosen not my field but wow, what an opportunity to work at U Chicago. A highly respected school if anyone is unaware.

@sirosen damn that looks cool ... too bad I'm in the EU

[sirosen@mastodon.social]

@Stepland 🫶

I feel a little bad about putting the word out when I know it's not equally open to everyone.

There's no question in my mind that the degree and US requirements are depriving us of a lot of very cool and talented people.

@sirosen Not related to the job (I've boosted to share, just in case), but do you maybe need a hand with the analytics side? I can see you Google Analytics setup is pretty outdated. Maybe needs modernising?

That's if you're still actively making use of analytics.

[sirosen@mastodon.social]

@digitalstefan
I appreciate the offer, but probably not (just being real with you).

Hiring for a university unit has to go through a few layers of bureaucracy. I would need to be able to articulate a very strong case to get folks to agree to add a position.

And we generally don't do limited term work or contracting because we pay a lot of overhead to onboard people.

@sirosen "Non-AI" gets a boost.

[varx@infosec.exchange]

@sirosen Cool! But it sounds like this isn't fully remote, is that right?

« Remote work options are available for this position, with occasional attendance at in-person meetings. »

(I live in the Boston area, so it wouldn't be trivial to come in!)

[sirosen@mastodon.social]

@varx I think that's central HR having edited the description without having talked with our department. Bureaucracy is quite a thing!

We have 1-2 annual in-person events, and there's no requirement to be Chicago-local.

If you send in an app, let me know what name I should tell people to look out for!
