Below is an abbreviated digital librarian job description -- a grant-funded temporary position here at Notre Dame:

  The overall goal of the Vector Control Development Network (VCDN)
  is to develop an analytical framework for the evaluation of the
  transmission of vector borne diseases to support efforts by the
  research and modeling communities, national vector borne disease
  control programs, developers of products for disease control and
  the donors/funders of research and control activities to
  control/eliminate these diseases. The first phase of the project
  will focus on malaria and the vector behaviors that determine the
  intensity of transmission and the susceptibility of vectors to
  interventions (both present and anticipated). 
  
  Candidates should possess at least a Master's degree in
  bioinformatics or its equivalent (those finishing the last
  semester toward completion of an MS in bioinformatics are also
  encouraged to apply). They must possess advanced skills in
  searching bibliographic literature databases and be conversant
  with data curation and copyright issues and implications. They
  must know at least one programming language, be familiar with
  RESTful Web computing techniques and know how to implement them.
  They must be able to read and write XML files, design and
  implement a relational database, know how to index data and
  provide Web access to the index, and be familiar with metadata
  standards such as Dublin Core or Darwin Core. They must also
  understand how to provide and exploit access to data through an
  HTTP server.
