About the NumFOCUS Visiting Fellows Program
The NumFOCUS Visiting Fellows Program is an opportunity for individuals employed at corporations or research labs to join the NumFOCUS staff for a designated time period, supported by their employer. Companies who allow one or more of their employees to serve as NumFOCUS Visiting Fellows provide an important form of corporate sponsorship to advance open source sustainability.
NumFOCUS Visiting Fellows will gain a new perspective on the ongoing needs ofour projects and the infrastructure required to meet those needs. Visiting Fellows can apply their skills and expertise in a variety of areas, including:
- open source community management
- software development
- IT support
- user research, experience, and interface (UX/UI)
- grant writing
- technical writing
- data analysis
- and many others.
NumFOCUS Visiting Fellows apply their talents and experience to positively impact the global open source ecosystem that uses and relies on NumFOCUS projects. Specific work and project opportunities will be unique to the interests and skills of each Visiting Fellow.
NumFOCUS extends our special thanks toTwo Sigma for kick starting this exciting program.
