The R group aims to connect R users with a background in psychology and related empirical sciences. Bringing together R users from different labs and different academic career stages is at the center of the R Group’s mission. We aim to create an engaging environment for members to mentor each other on career planning in general, and on working with R in particular. We are commited to create an environment where peers who are passionate about developing their R skills can learn from each other, extend their knowledge and broaden their career goals and opportunities. We seek to achieve this main aim with two types of group activities: hands-on R workshops and career development opportunities.
First, we regularly organize workshops with local and international experts in the field to expand our analytic knowledge and stay up-to- date with cutting-edge developments in advanced analytical methods with R. The main focus points are longitudinal analyses (e.g. multi-level analyses and structural equation modeling), data visualization and general workflow. Second, we aim to offer opportunities for the group members to proactively learn about planning career development. The doctoral and post-doctoral training we receive at the University of Zurich qualifies us for a variety of different career paths inside and outside academia. Yet, navigating these different options and possibilities isn’t always easy and straightforward. To this end, we organize a career talk series, roundtable discussions and other workshops.
