The Center for Digital Humanities (CDH) is an interdisciplinary research center in the Princeton University Library. While the global digital humanities community is constantly defining and redefining itself, the CDH embraces an inclusive understanding of DH that respects and investigates the myriad ways digital methods and technologies are opening new avenues for research into the human experience, past and present. The CDH research team serves as a hub for expertise in digital methods, tools, and best practices that allow scholars to analyze traditional and unconventional source bases to discover and share new insights.

Lead Developer /Requisition # 1500793

As a leader of the new CDH Development team, and reporting to the Associate Director of CDH, the developer in this position will manage, by Summer 2017, a Development team of at least three additional programmers. The Lead Developer and the Development team are charged with building innovative digital humanities projects in a collaborative environment that includes fellow CDH staff, humanities and social science faculty and graduate students, and other campus partners.

The Lead Developer will implement and manage test-driven development workflows for DH software projects and ensure that projects developed at CDH are released with stable codebases and clear documentation.
