From time to time, as a service to our readers, MLB Trade Rumors will post job opportunities of possible interest that are brought to our attention. MLBTR has no affiliation with the hiring entity, no role in the hiring process, and no financial interest in the posting of this opportunity.
The San Diego Padres are looking to grow their Research and Development team and bring in individuals with a passion for baseball and winning through data-driven decision making. Through both collaborative and individual work, members of the team will impact every part of the R&D process: idea and question generation, data exploration and analysis, development of decision making tools utilizing analyses, and communication of results to decision makers and other staff. Ideal candidates are those that are excited to challenge the status quo, improve how the organization makes decisions, and contribute to the continual development of the department.

Relocation to San Diego is not a requirement for these positions; remote candidates will be considered, though some travel will be necessary.
Clepto this is your calling…you think you know everything so give it a shot
you must be able to read and write, so unfortunately clepto wont be getting a call back for this particular position. Although, i do hear that the Padres need someone to clean the cotton candy machine.
Hey clepto, give them a call bud!
relocation is not a requirement? sweet.
Posting this to Craigslist?
scrubbing toilets on Tuesday, a member of SDP operations on Wednesday, hurray!
is this for their GM position?
Sadly my community college degree and retail management chops haven’t warranted a call back thus far. I’m still waiting with bated breath.
Many great baseball people started as interns. Unfortunately, I was on a good path to the top of baseball before I exposed the Padres conspiracy.
Now I’m black balled and relegated to MLBTR if I want to talk about the right moves.
I’ve got a class B CDL and an emergency medical responder card, sign me up
Let’s see what you got burns
Dave Cameron will be your boss. Former fangraphs writer. Good dude.
Good dude … but fits the stereotype of “arrogant saberist.”
I present for your consideration – My resume…
White Roddy
Education: community college you’ve never heard of
GPA: I graduated and that’s all that matters
Job related skills:
1. I love baseball
2. I’m a nice guy
Hit me up if you wanna turn this team around!
Can you program in python and STAN? Then they may just hire you without a BS degree.
Answer the question burns
It’s weird this was posted on here and not on fangraphs job postings, but I am glad it was so I could apply
They still do from time to time but their postings usually get dumped on in the comment section because MLB teams don’t pay commensurately to market rates for the skills level/experience they’re asking for. More savvy readers there. You really have to love baseball to take one of these lower-/mid-level jobs.
And so many thought Math in school wasn’t important!
Being proficient in probabilistic programming languages like Stan is more important than math in this case, but certainly you need more than basic algebra.
Speak for yourself.
Hey Ryan/Red Rooster/Tatis, did you apply?
Haha your first name with your last name
D!ck burns
LOL! He was already proven to have never even taken a freshman stats class. (Like most who use certain “advanced” analytics just because they think it makes them sound smarter!)
West Coast Ryan/ Red Rooster
Beat me to it…logged on just to vouch for and recommend WCR aka Red Rooster aka Show me your Tatis aka turd nugget. He’s probably applied under several names hahahahah
@Padres2019ha have the Padres traded Wil Myers for Noah Syndergaard yet?
PS: “turd nugget.”
Oh man, I remember the first time I heard that one! I haven’t been 4 in forever!
Try harder.
“Ideal candidates are those that are excited to challenge the status quo”
Complaining about everything in the office? I’m overqualified.
wow this is not a good thing, I thought we had some internal VIPs that did this, they should have sent this out nine yrs ago
Hey Pads Fans/koamalu/websoulsurfer/outinleftfield/WatermelonMtnScout/The Padfather, did you apply?
Hahaha
Like, I wasn’t even going to comment on this article but he wanted to play. And you know what they say, “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”
I think it’s funny that he is talking to himself
Franchise is pathetic
Steve Adams and Jeff Todd are probably all over this, but I’d like to see Tim Dierkes apply for it instead.
Do we get our resumes back when we’re done? I had a chili recipe written on the back.
