Call for Technical Lead Nominations

Stream: CSLib

[Swarat Chaudhuri]

Hi all, we are looking for two technical leads for the CSLib project. These researchers will be hosted in academic labs or nonprofits and spearhead the creation of CSLib over the next year or two. As mentioned in the CSLib calls, we anticipate securing industrial sponsorship for these roles. Please use this link to nominate candidates.

The form suggests that the nominator must be from the same institution as the nominee

To nominate a candidate hosted at your lab/organization

[Shreyas Srinivas]

Is this strictly necessary?

[Clark Barrett]

Sorry for any confusion. We are looking for nominators who can receive gift funds and use them to support the person they are nominating. So it might have been better to use the term PI instead of nominator.

[Shreyas Srinivas]

So, to clarify, do you mean that the "nominators" are PIs who host candidates and the nominees could be someone like a postdoc in their lab?

[Swarat Chaudhuri]

That is correct.

[Alexandre Rademaker]

Is self-nomination an option?

[Clark Barrett]

Yes - if you are both the PI and the person who wants to do the work
