Hi all,

I wanted to share with you a job posting to work with us at the
University of Illinois.  It’s available at:
https://jobs.illinois.edu/academic-job-board/job-details?jobID=123477&job=visiting-research-scientist-school-of-information-sciences-123477

The short description is that we’re looking to invest in the yt
infrastructure, and bring it more closely in line with the modern
pydata ecosystem.  This would mean working to utilize and interoperate
with libraries like dask and xarray, and will include designing and
documenting software changes and infrastructure.  Plus, it will also
involve working with libraries used throughout both the scientific
ecosystem and in industry in modern data science.  And, you’ll get to
work with fun people in both yt community *and* the pydata community!
All the work will be open source and this project is committed to
contributing to the broader ecosystem *wherever* we can.

I hope you’ll consider either applying, or passing this along to
someone you know that might be interested.  All of the information in
the job posting should be considered authoritative, rather than this
email.  If you’ve got any questions (including about specifics of the
job, the application process, etc) please do reach out to the contact
person on the form!

Best,

Matt
