Hi COSIMA,
We’re looking for a new Co-Chair to join the COSIMA leadership team! The Co-Chairs help build community, provide scientific leadership for shared model configurations and COSIMA Recipes, and act as a link to ACCESS-NRI.
COSIMA currently has four Co-Chairs (Ed Doddridge, Andrew Kiss, Paul Spence and Adele Morrison - one of us will step down to make room for someone new). Each Co-Chair shapes their role around what they enjoy and their expertise. Some of the tasks the leadership team do include organising / chairing weekly Thursday COSIMA meetings, running annual hackathons and workshops, leading model development and evaluation projects, guiding maintenance and direction of the Recipes, supporting inclusion and diversity, managing compute and storage resources, and engaging with the ACCESS-NRI Scientific Advisory Committee.
Of course, COSIMA’s strength comes from the whole community. Many people outside the official leadership team also make incredible contributions and take initiative to support and improve COSIMA, e.g. through contributions to the Recipes, model development and diversity initiatives. This is amazing and we would love everyone to continue contributing to the community!
If you are interested in becoming a Co-Chair, please get in touch with Adele and/or Paul by 28th November. Additional information on how you’d like to contribute to the role is welcomed.
Cheers,
Adele
