[R-jobs] PhD & post-doc positions available on Open source software evolution studies (incl. the R ecosystem)

I wouldn't overthink it... it looks like it's an English-as-second-language
issue. These folks seemingly come from a French-speaking university, and in
French the masculine form is used when referring to a group made up of both
genders; there is no gender-neutral equivalent to "they" in French. (This
is less and less true in Canadian French, but this is irrelevant here.)
