Data Services Manager, D-Lab

At the University of California, Berkeley , we are dedicated to fostering a community where everyone feels welcome and can thrive. Our culture of openness, freedom, and belonging makes it a special place for students, faculty, and staff, who are among the most talented and accomplished anywhere, including Nobel laureates, Pulitzer Prize winners, and Mac Arthur Fellows. Since our founding in 1868, we have been an engine for innovation - driving intellectual, economic, and social progress that benefits California, the U.S., and beyond.

Together, we change the world.

At Berkeley, the best careers are built on a foundation of continuous learning and growth . We actively support professional development by providing all full-time staff employees with at least 80 hours of paid time per year and provide space for supportive colleague communities via numerous employee resource groups.

D-Lab equips UC Berkeley scholars with the skills, methods, and emerging data science tools to advance their research through hands‑on training and expert guidance.

Based in the Division of Social Sciences and in partnership with the Division of Computing, Data Science, and Society, D-Lab’s interdisciplinary reach spans the social sciences, arts and humanities, computing, data science, statistics, information science, business, education, engineering, environmental design, journalism, law, public health, public policy, social welfare, natural resources, chemistry, biological and physical sciences.. D-Lab is a research accelerator that equips scholars with the knowledge, skills, and tools for cutting‑edge research.

D-Lab is a research incubator that co‑constructs expansive communities of practice. D-Lab works with Berkeley faculty, research staff, graduate, and undergraduate students to advance data‑intensive research. We support the exploration, development, dissemination, and application of methodologies, toolkits, and resources to engage with next‑generation data sources through innovative analytics. We think of data as a capacious category, constantly changing as the research frontier moves.

D-Lab's signature focus is research design: intelligent, rigorous, and tuned to the transformative opportunities opened up by a data‑ and computationally rich world.

D-Lab provides cross‑disciplinary resources for in‑depth consulting and advising, access to staff and peer‑to‑peer consulting support, and training and provisioning for software and other infrastructure needs. We offer a collaborative venue for intellectual and methodological exchange. By networking with other Berkeley centers and facilities, as well as with our departments and schools, we offer our services to researchers across disciplines and underwrite the breadth of excellence in Berkeley's undergraduate and graduate programs and faculty research.

D-Lab's user base is strongly interdisciplinary and campus‑wide, including the professional schools as well as disciplinary departments. It serves thousands of researchers annually through public and private workshops, consulting, events, working groups, data services, and other academic programs, such as the year‑long Computational Social Sciences course and the Digital Humanities Summer Minor and Certificate Program. D-Lab has a strong culture of responsiveness to users and empowers professional and graduate staff.

It is an internally differentiated organization with several teams while maintaining a relatively flat organizational structure. We are physically located in the Social Sciences Building and the Computing, Data Science, and Society Building, called the Gateway.

The Data Services Manager primarily develops and updates data science curricula, organizes and supports fellowship cohorts,…
