In the University Libraries at Carnegie Mellon I worked on university-wide initiatives to provide services and infrastructure for research data management and open science to faculty and students. The CLIR fellowship program is a unique program that places disciplinary PhD's into academic research libraries - it is in it's 11th year and there are now over 100 former fellows working in academia and beyond. The fellowship gave me the opportunity to learn about about the rapidly evolving work in digital scholarship and modern academic libraries, while also bringing my experience as a researcher into the library to influence projects and approaches. I also focused on open science initiatives in psychology and neuroscience including making data publicly available and sharing code, analysis tools, and stimuli as open source research products.
