Pracademic Data Science Career Panel Tune into our discussion next Thursday, Oct. 19, at 3pm EDT | 12pm PDT to learn how nonacademic work experience can inform data science pedagogy and research in academia. It’s also a great opportunity to glean insights from our panelists about transitioning from a nonacademic job to a tenure track faculty position.

Background: Kaitlyn earned her BA from the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology at Columbia University. She trained as a behavioral and community ecologist during her PhD at UC Berkeley, where her work in both the US and Mozambique focused on understanding people's roles and impacts on ecological systems, particularly how humans have changed large animal behavior and distribution. As a Schmidt Science Fellow and postdoc at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis, Kaitlyn branched out into environmental data science. Current Role: Kaitlyn just wrapped her first year as a PI and Assistant Professor in the Departments of Botany and Zoology at the University of British Columbia. Research in the Gaynor Lab examines the effects of human activity on global biodiversity, with emphases on the (1) behavioral responses of animals to human presence, (2) effects of anthropogenic disturbance on predator-prey and other species interactions, and (3) socio-ecological dynamics of conservation and coexistence. This work involves large-scale data synthesis and meta-analyses, and local field studies in North America and Africa. Kaitlyn is excited to expand her research in new directions and grow her lab this year. She just joined a new collaborative research initiative, AI for Biodiversity Change (ABC), which was just funded by the US NSF and Canadian NSERC. The interdisciplinary team will use AI to accelerate the processing of vast amounts of data on biodiversity over space and time to advance our understanding of the impacts of climate change and other disturbances that are shaping species distributions, behavior, and interactions. 👉 If you’re interested in learning more about the ABC and how you might join as a student, postdoc, or collaborator, reach out! Kaitlyn’s department is also seeking a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Teaching in Biostatistics and Data Science. Outside of Work: Kaitlyn has been living in Vancouver, BC, for a year now, on the unceded homeland of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. She loves how easy it is to explore all of the arts and culture that this vibrant city has to offer, and how easy it is to get out of the city and explore the surrounding land and sea. Connect with Kaitlyn: If you’re interested in collaborations and/or joining the Gaynor lab, check out Kaitlyn’s profile in the CDN Member Directory to learn how to get in touch.
