Five reasons you should apply for this job: 1. It's an exciting multi-institutional open-source project, using Hydra/Fedora & Opencast Matterhorn, and following the agile scrum methodology (yeah, that's all one reason). http://www.variationsonvideo.org 2. Bloomington Indiana is a cool place to live. It's nothing like Pawnee in the Parks and Recreation TV series. How many Tibetan restaurants can *you* walk to for lunch? http://bloomingtontech.com/life-in-bloomington 3. Indiana University (IU) professional staff *start* with 30 days' paid vacation per year, on top of the usual holidays. http://jobs.indiana.edu/benefits.html 4.

IU is internationally known for our library and for our IT infrastructure. In fact, our president used to be our CIO. http://www.computerworld.com/spring/bp/detail/894 Apply here: https://ola.indiana.edu/joblisting/index.cfm?jlnum=5063 I'm happy to answer questions directly.
