Become an Instructor

Data Carpentry workshops are taught by trained, peer, volunteer instructors. We work with the Software Carpentry Foundation to develop and deliver a Train the Trainers (T3) program. This program teaches instructional pedagogy as well as the practicalities of teaching a Software or Data Carpentry workshop.

Instructors teach workshops in their local area or have the opportunity to travel to teach. We teach workshops around the world!

Once you’re an instructor, we’ll match you with teaching opportunities that fit your schedule and travel interest and availability.

Data Carpentry ‘Fast Track’ Instructors Application

There are currently many Software Carpentry instructors interested in being Data Carpentry instructors and trained educators interested in teaching workshops. To enable this transition, we are developing a ‘Fast Track’ program.

If you are interested in teaching people new to computation and data analysis, have the skills to teach introductory R, Python or SQL and demonstrated teaching experience as a Software Carpentry instructor or in another capacity, we would love to have you as an instructor!

We are interested in instructors in any domain of research, and are particularly working to grow our instructor pool in social sciences and digital humanities.

We’ll have more information on this ‘Fast Track’ program very soon! Follow this site, our blog, Twitter or the discussion on our forum
