We have two data roles open at Clarasight!

The data team is absolutely integral to how we help companies address their climate impact. Primarily TS and Python, but WASI (especially Rust) is very much on our technology radar.

We have other non-data folks in Boston

Unfortunately seems like the roles are restricted to non-US locations? Seems like an awesome group though

Checking…

Because our data is in the EU and covers EU people, there’s a GDPR benefit to having data folks there.

But I think if the roles are open to Canada, then they’re also open to Boston.

Oh hey another Boston data scientist. I’d try to hire you with the NIH grant I just submitted… if it had any chance of getting funded anymore. 💀🫶🏾

(Like seriously, I do spatial stuff in R in Boston, but no way is my trans ass getting a grant from this administration.)

Someone give the fella a job :) <3

I am retired, still consulting and not job hunting. First write up a good resume and put it on the standard job boards (Dice, Indeed and Monster). Second write up a good LinkedIn profile. The recruiters will follow. Many will be a PITA that contact you about irrelevant position. Good luck. #GISchat

Man, I have always worked in the “private” sector, and can say you rarely find people like you. The mission motivation is rarely found there, and makes me beyond sad that we might loose your service.

former IL-Water USGS guy here. these are terrifying times. wishing you the best of luck in the next leg of your journey

Also in Boston and also not hiring right now...but I'm happy to be a set of eyeballs on a resume!

I've got a PhD in environmental science and am currently in a data scientist/product owner role, leading a team of 6 people as we build a replacement for the largest water API system in the world. In every job I've had, people tell me they're impressed how I communicate complexity to wider audiences

mikemahoney218.com•2 days ago

I gravitate towards mission-driven positions, broadly defined; I like to go home thinking we're building something that matters. I also unironically love fast paced environments; as the conclusion of my dissertation says, I've always found it easier to work on ten things than to focus on one

Any interest in program management?

I was on the Planet site half an hour ago and somehow totally missed this! Thank you!

If you or someone you know has a position that I'm a fit for, please let me know! My DMs here are open, my LinkedIn is below, and there's more contacts on my site.

Thanks all. I'm so disappointed that I need to write this thread. That's all I've got.

Just in case it’s helpful, our newsletter has a lot of resources for federal employees. https://thejobhopper.substack.com/p/special-edition-resources-for-unemployed

There are many people like you out there looking for a job. Independent science labs and institutions should be sucking you guys up like America did the East European physicists and engineers at the end of WWII.

If you want to connect on LinkedIn please do! I'm connected to a number of class act, incredible engineers in your area that might have leads? You can probably find me just by my full name (same as here) or I'll find the link and add it. Just want to support our civil workforce!

I know there’s a lot of controversy right now with any UHG subsidiary but Optum has a lot of data analytics positions out of Boston, both in office and remote.

therriault.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not hiring right now, but happy to grab coffee and brainstorm someday soon if needed - DM me if it would help.

seismolucy.bsky.social•1 day ago

With your background and rstats skills, you should definitly look into catastrophe modeling positions at (re)insurance companies and brokers. Good luck!
