Shape the Future of the RCD Workforce: Take the 2025 RCD Census Survey!
|
|
|
The RCD field continues to evolve rapidly, as does the need to better understand the people who power it. That’s why the CaRCC RCD Professionalization Working Group is launching the 2025 RCD Workforce Survey — a national effort to gather insights into the roles, characteristics, and job activities of professionals supporting research computing and data across institutions.
If you work in or alongside the RCD space, whether as an RCD facilitator, data librarian, systems professional, data scientist, software developer, RCD project manager, leader, or anything similar, your voice matters! |
