José Siqueira (Sep 02 2021 at 21:17):I randomly came across something that might interest those of you who are US citizens, and are interested in doing something outside of academia: the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is currently hiring a bunch of data scientists and senior data scientists, and lists applied category theory under "Preferred Skillsets". Have a look at the website! Sorry if it's old news, but someone might want to know :)
John Baez (Sep 03 2021 at 15:39):Cool. Here are the actual ads:
Preferred Skillsets
Demonstrated ability to contribute to the academic and research strength of PNNL and have experience writing scientific publications demonstrating their insight and discovery.
Demonstrated experience in applied data science computational platforms and/or languages, for example Python environments, R, Matlab, Tableau, SQL, Maple, PyTorch.
Demonstrated expertise in at least one mathematical specialty of interest. Examples include:
Computational topology, including persistent homology, Topological Data Analysis, or applied sheaf theory.
Hypergraph analytics and network science.
Applied category theory.
Geometric data analysis.
Closely related areas in applied discrete mathematics, topology, geometry, or algebra.
Evan Patterson (Sep 03 2021 at 19:03):Pretty cool to see a data science job advertisement that includes phrases like "applied category theory" and "applied sheaf theory." Hope that is the beginning of a trend!
Spencer Breiner (Sep 03 2021 at 19:38):These positions would probably be working with Cliff Joslyn and/or Emilie Purvine, if anyone wants to look at some related research.
Evan Patterson (Sep 03 2021 at 19:55):Thanks Spencer, I was wondering who was responsible for creating those positions!
John Baez (Sep 03 2021 at 20:02):Thanks, Spencer! I didn't think our charm had reached the point where people we don't know ask for applied category theory expertise.
