NYU Division of Libraries is currently seeking a Technical
Architect. This position is a member of the Digital Library
Technology Services (DLTS) unit, which processes, enables access to and
preserves digital materials that come from both the NYU community and from
collaborating partner organizations. Our methods include digitization,
software development, research, project coordination and the articulation of
best practices. DLTS creates infrastructure and systems to advance networked
scholarly communication and explores the questions raised by the use of these
services as they continue to evolve.

  
The Technical Architect, reporting to the Manager, Digital Library Publication
and Access, will plan, configure, and manage both in-house and cloud
environments for DLTS. The incumbent will also provide advanced technical
assistance in support of faculty and interact with librarians, staff, and
scholars as appropriate.

  
DLTS supports Library-wide initiatives and serves as a meeting point between
Libraries and ITS. This position will be a fulcrum for these communities and
will facilitate teamwork and collaboration among
them.

  
The incumbent's deliverables will impact DLTS primarily, but will also have an
impact on DLTS customers, who include members of NYU Libraries as well as NYU
faculty.
