Postdoc (and student) positions in a study of the Incubator, and open source software success generally

[Seth Frey <se...@ucdavis.edu.INVALID>]

Hello Incubator and Foundation people,

I reached out last year while planning an academic study of the Incubator.  Our proposal got funded and we now have NSF support to do just that.  Most of you are in industry, but if you happen to know anyone looking for a postdoc (or a student position) who would enjoy studying you and your community, feel free to pass this along:

Postdoc (and student) positions in the study of open source software success

We are hiring for a project at University of California Davis on OSS structure, governance, and success. These are NSF-funded positions of 2–5 years under an interdisciplinary team spanning computer science,  computational social science, and policy analysis. The postdoc position is seeking applications into November. The student positions may be filled this or next year.
