Sorry for the cross-post...
Please feel free to also use this special interest group for
Bioconductor-ish postings. The only requirement is that the job
description mentions the need/desire for R skills.

Martin Maechler called my bluff on this suggestion. I'm now the admin
for the new special interest group for R related job postings:
https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-jobs
Please send appropriate emails to this list. There are some simple
rules
for postings (e.g. no attachments etc).

As someone who has (reluctantly) sent job postings to R Help, I think
that a SIG would be a good idea.

Subject: [R] R in Industry
The other day, CNN had a story on working at Google. Out of curiosity,
I
went to the Google employment web site (I'm not looking, but just
curious). In perusing their job posts for statisticians, preference is
given to those who use R and python. Other languages, S-Plus and
something called SAS were listed as lower priorities.
When I started using Python, I noted they have a portion of the web
site
with job postings. CRAN does not have something similar, but think it
might be useful. I think R is becoming more widely used in industry
and
I wonder if helping it move along a bit, the maintainer of CRAN could
create a section of the web site devoted to jobs where R is a
requirement.
Hence, we could have our own little "monster.com" kind of thing going
on. Of the multitude of ways the gospel can be spread, this is small.
But, I think every small step forward is good.
Anyone think this is useful?
Harold
