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.

4. Bloomington is relatively inexpensive, with public transportation,
short commutes, and lots of bikes. We have our own breweries, a winery,
and even our own wiki. http://www.bloomingpedia.org

5. IU is internationally known for our library and for our IT
infrastructure. In fact, our president used to be our CIO.
