Here are some *recommendations* (not directives) as to where existing academics/practitioners can be "placed" (assuming one has not violated the law, colluded in fraud, crimes etc.):

CSGDS (if set up), remain as they are until CSGDS is set up [iii] or applied statistics (for evaluation and interpretation).

[i] Reminder:
a. computational and statistical generalized data science (CSGDS), if available, remains a possibility and a recommendation to everyone;
b. these are just suggestions with respect to disciplines, one does not have to think/hire wrt disciplines;
c. to each their own, one may wish to develop other interests, hone other skills beyond the areas suggested or areas of familiarity; and
d. now that many things in science and tech have become clearer, one should be more open-minded and think beyond how certain "groups" used to be defined.
22
23
[ii] Disciplines to be discontinued/sunsetted (qualified individuals should/could switch to CSGDS or to other existing disciplines to be transitioned to CSGDS, see [iii] below):
24
linguistics (including but not limited to phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, historical linguistics, anthropological linguistics, fieldwork)
25
history
26
anthropology
27
ethnology
28
social science(s)
29
literature
30
CL (computational linguistics)
31
NLP (natural language processing)
32
digital humanities
33
34
[iii] Disciplines to be transitioned to CSGDS (note that the transition is rather nominal in nature, more like a "merger" of disciplines, but centered on better generalizations, data as evidence, and higher precision and rigor with statistics and computation. There would be a focus on (re-)evaluation and (re-)interpretation for all):
35
CS (Computer Science / informatics)
36
EE (Electrical Engineering, including teachings related to information theory)
37
mathematics/statistics
38
all other domain sciences (e.g. physics, chemistry, biology)
39
philosophy (e.g. phenomenology as interpretation)
40
41
[iv] CS: but transparently addressing DASH (data, algorithm, size/scale, hardware), history of computing, comprehensive and statistics-centric evaluation and interpretation.
42
43
[v] Statistics: but transparently addressing DASH, development in / changes to statistics in the age of (digital) computing, history of statistics, comprehensive interpretation wrt areas outside of what might have been considered as "statistics proper".
