Dear R users,
I am happy to officially announce a new website called R-users.com. The idea of the site is that community members will invite other R users to join them in their R projects, conferences, and work places.
This site is a “job board” for R users, hosting various “call to action” to R-users, to do stuff such as:
- Join a open-source or paid projects of R programming
- Send/give a presentation for conferences (on R, statistics, machine learning, data science, etc.)
- Apply to be a student/researcher in an academic institution
- And other “R jobs”
For example, I am the author of the R package “installr” for easily updating R on windows. However, I would love for someone who is a mac/linux user to expend my package for non-Windows users. Hence, I created a new “job”, inviting help on this project, which you may see in this link.
If you also wish to post your own “R job” for other R-users to see, here is a very short presentation on how to do it:
The basic steps are:
- Register/login to the site (you can use your facebook/gmail account with just one click-registration)
- Fill in your proposed project/job details
- That’s it!
I intend to promote this site on r-bloggers.com, please help me in promoting this site on facebook and your own websites – so that more of us will be able to work together.
Yours,
Tal Galili
Hi, just a short note: First link (R-users.com) redirects to r-statistics.com (missing http:// I guess…).
Thanks Daniel – it is now fixed 🙂
Thank you! Will there be an additional section for people to let others know that they are available for volunteer/internship opportunities?
Hi Tom,
Indeed.
When a person registers to the site through here:
http://www.r-users.com/login/
He can either be an “employer” (which is what I show in the post), or a “job seeker”.
If you want to perform both, you would have to register two different accounts to the site.
A “job seeker” can post his resume to the site. Which will then be shown here:
http://www.r-users.com/resumes/
Cheers,
Tal
the job link gives ”
Sorry, Nothing was Found
The page, job, or post may have been moved or no longer exists.”
Hi David,
It just means that there are currently no open “jobs” for conferences. Other jobs are available…
Best,
Tal
