Subject: [CaRCC people] 📢 Participate in Research Study on Research Computing and Data Workforce

To all Research Computing and Data professionals -

 

The Campus Research Computing Consortium (CaRCC) Professionalization Working Group and Northwestern University invite you to participate in a research study of the Research Computing and Data (RCD) workforce in the United States: Research Computing Workforce Survey.

 

This study aims to provide the first large data set on the composition of the research computing and data (RCD) workforce in terms of demographics, job responsibilities, job types, compensation, and perceptions of the RCD field. The study is limited to the United States due to varying data privacy laws and research requirements internationally. 

 

The survey results will be widely shared with the community and provide data to:

• Describe the current research computing and data professionals workforce to provide a measure of equity across institutions and positions, which in turn can aid in effectively attracting, retaining, and diversifying RCD professionals
• Compare this workforce to related academic and technical workforces in terms of demographics and educational background
• Characterize the types of job positions present in the field and the work done by different job positions
• Generate data for use by individuals, hiring managers, and human resources professionals in the field on salary, job titles, job families, and job responsibilities

 

The survey takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. Adults residing in the United States who are currently or were previously employed in RCD roles or a position with RCD responsibilities are eligible to participate in the study. 

 

We also ask for your help in sharing this study with your colleagues who have RCD responsibilities but may not be active on RCD email lists or think of their position as being part of the research computing and data field. 

 

Participate in the Study
