The Problem with Niche or University-Specific Boards
Computer science and data science jobs show up everywhere, but rarely in the same place. If you’re looking for your next opportunity, you’re probably hitting:
- Reddit job threads
- University department boards
- Data Science Central
- School portals like UChicago CS or Texas A&M
- LinkedIn feeds that show “data analyst” no matter your actual field
That’s noise. Not strategy.
Top Resources for CS and DS Jobs
Reddit & Forums
Search terms like:
- Data science job board Reddit
- Best job board for data science
These communities are great for advice and anecdotes; but not for finding a real, up-to-date job pipeline. And certainly not for filtering by research field, project type, or institution.
Centralized Platforms like Nerd Werk
Search terms include:
- Computer science job board
- Data science job board
- [university] computer science job board
Nerd Werk doesn’t just lump every tech job together. You can filter by scientific domain:
- Computational biology
- Environmental modeling
- Quantum computing
- AI in healthcare
- Research software engineering
These roles require more than generic tech filters. That’s why Nerd Werk’s science-first approach matters.
