Nathaniel D. Porter<p>I’m not moving to Alabama (state lawmakers are less than welcoming to my family + I like my corner of Appalachia) but the U of Alabama is hiring a tenure-track <a href="https://sciences.social/tags/dataScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dataScience</span></a> Librarian starting at $100-120K for assistant professor (and posting salary range in job description). Probably a great job for someone who wants the combo of flexibility and impact of an <a href="https://sciences.social/tags/altAc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>altAc</span></a> job. <a href="https://careers.ua.edu/jobs/data-science-librarian-525463-alabama-united-states" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">careers.ua.edu/jobs/data-scien</span><span class="invisible">ce-librarian-525463-alabama-united-states</span></a></p>

Suzanne she/her<p>Hi folks. Looking for some help. I think I'm going to stop applying for academic positions after several years with zero interviews.

Timo Kramer<p>This week, I'm back in the Pilot Plant to finish experiments we couldn't run 6 weeks ago because of force majeure on the logistics front. I'm very excited that in 2-3 weeks' time, we will have a full dataset on these trials, but it also means the end of the fun bit and the start of A) writing the report and B) the follow-up experiments, including a 2 year shelf life study. It feels like an accomplishment and just a small step in a long process at the same time. <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/AltAc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AltAc</span></a> <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/FoodSci" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodSci</span></a> <a href="https://scicomm.xyz/tags/ProcessTechnology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProcessTechnology</span></a></p>
