There are a variety of opportunities to participate in curriculum development of training and community materials.
Staff employed by Fred Hutch as a part of the team for data and computational training and community are responsible for:
- ongoing maintenance of existing (published) materials
- coordinating with experts at Fred Hutch to develop and guide new curriculum development
- mentoring interns, volunteers, and TAs who are developing materials for training and community
We participate in the alternative TA-ships offerred by UW's MCB program by sponsoring 1-3 graduate students each summer. These TAs agree to ~90 hours of commitment throughout the summer, and support teaching and curriculum development for data and computational methods for the biomedical research community.
The main objectives of this teaching assistantship include:
- Observe and assist in teaching introductory computational classes taught by current instructors
- Learn general methods for teaching computational methods
- Develop training materials (new lessons, practice exercises, or example coding projects)
Previous materials developed as a part of this program include:
- scRNAseq: single cell RNAseq data analysis using monocle and garnett
