R sig jobs - May 2014 - Machine learning teaching for Data Science Retreat

Hi all,

We are preparing for a future batch, and we may be shorthanded for
teaching. R is our programming language of choice.
Data Science Retreat (DSR: http://datascienceretreat.com) sits at Microsoft
Ventures offices in Berlin Mitte. We have chief-data-scientist mentors and
a pretty exhaustive program on machine learning + data science. You can
check it out here: http://datascienceretreat.com/curriculum.html

If you think you could teach some of these topics and prepare extensive
hands-on materials, we'd love to hear from you. The big-data part is
covered, but mostly all the other topics we could definitely use your help
with. We have a particular teaching method that works with pairing mentors
and learners, called the Meerkat method:
