NYC Data #46: JupyterCon, UN Commission for Refugees, Condé Nast, Geoplot, Data Journalism
Hi friends: I hope you are having a relaxing long weekend! Light week for job postings, but I added a couple new conferences to the list.
Junior Role
Condé Nast is looking for a data scientist.
Mid-Level Role
The UN High Commission for Refugees is looking for someone to work on data visualizations: this looks like a remote position but given that the UN is based locally and it's a problem I care about, I'm including.

Good Local Posts
- Aleksey Bilogur started building geoplot: a mapping & visualization library in Python that I agree is sorely needed.
- Andrew Flowers, previously of 538, did a nice talk on the six types of data stories.
