Python research software consultant
Seeking a highly qualified Python research software consultant to assist in refactoring, organizing, and documenting two related social science research codebases for publication-grade reproducibility and open-source public release. This is a short-term, remote consulting opportunity with competitive compensation.
Responsibilities:
•Improve the clarity, structure, reproducibility, and maintainability of both codebases. • Develop clear documentation, including README files, docstrings, in-code comments, and usage examples. • Ensure reliable, reproducible execution from raw data to final analytical outputs.
Scope: The two codebases together include approximately 20 Jupyter notebooks, some as long as 3,000 lines. The consultant will focus on the highest-priority components necessary to produce a clean, reproducible, publication-ready codebase, rather than refactoring every notebook in full.
Qualifications: • Ph.D., advanced graduate student, or experienced research software engineer in computer science, software engineering, data science, or a related field. • Strong expertise in Python. • Experience refactoring, organizing, and documenting research codebases preferred. • Experience preparing computational research code for peer-reviewed publication and computational reproducibility, especially code supporting a major article submission in computational social science or related fields, preferred. • Experience with hierarchical Bayesian modeling preferred. • Experience preparing codebases for open-source public release preferred. • Experience with reproducible research practices, including environment management, workflows, and version control, preferred. • Experience with SQLAlchemy preferred.
Additional Information: • Compensation: Competitive hourly compensation of $80–$150, with total compensation in the range of $7,000–$10,000, depending on qualifications, experience, and scope of work. • Duration: Flexible, with total hours depending on consultant availability, qualifications, and final scope. All work must be completed by June 30, 2026. • Location: Remote.
How to Apply: Please send a brief email message outlining your background and relevant experience, together with your CV and links to any relevant code samples or repositories, to: Professor Roger Hart, Department of History & Geography, Texas Southern University [email protected]
