The Information Policy and Access Center (iPAC) within the University
of Maryland, College Park’s College of Information Studies has an
immediate need to fill two technical support positions that provide
vital support to the center’s research and policy work:

1. Website Programmer (front end):

The ideal candidate will be a creative and collaborative multi-tasker
who is proficient with the Drupal Web platform or at least has
expertise with php and mysql. This position will be expected to
support the center’s various Website development initiatives,
including the implementation of a brand new center Web presence, set
to launch in mid-June 2011. The ideal candidate will have a strong
background in both Web frameworks (i.e. php, mysql, ruby on rails,
django) and programming languages (i.e. php, python, ruby). Other
desired qualifications include a familiarity with javascript and
jquery as well as scripting languages (i.e. perl, python). Experience
with data visualizations and mapping toolkits and graphic or Web
interface design is also desirable.

Part-time position (approx. 20 hours/week); compensation dependent on experience

2. Data Manager/Systems Administrator (back end):

The ideal candidate will be a reliable team-player and problem solver
who exhibits great attention to detail and organizational skills. The
applicant should also have experience with Web frameworks and both
programming and scripting languages, as well as relational database
design. An interest in data management as well as server (LAMP stack)
administration and version control systems is desirable. Past
experience working with various APIs and statistical software (R and
SPSS) is beneficial.

Part-time position (approx. 20 hours/week); compensation dependent on experience

Potential candidates that feel they possess some combination of the
attributes and skills described in the two positions above are
encouraged to apply. There is some flexibility in the assigned roles
between the two positions.

More about iPAC:
iPAC is the result of a merger between two existing College of
Information Studies research centers: the Center for Library and
Information Innovation (CLII: http://www.clii.umd.edu/); and the
Center for Information Policy and E-Government (CIPEG:
http://www.cipeg.umd.edu/index.html). This new, merged center will
focus on the fields of information policy, equity of access,
under-served populations and diversity, and cultural institution
studies as applied to academic, public, school, and other libraries;
museums; and archives.
