**JOB PURPOSE:**  
  
The Stanford University Libraries' Center for Interdisciplinary Research
(CIDR) is seeking an innovative, experienced, team-oriented software developer
to build sophisticated, sustainable, and generalizable tools and
infrastructure in order to support interdisciplinary digital research in the
computational social sciences and digital humanities at Stanford and
beyond. Regular tasks will include programming, analyzing,
designing, developing, implementing, modifying, and maintaining computer
programs in systems of moderate size and complexity or segments of larger
systems.

  
  
The CIDR Developer will join a distinguished and widely-recognized team of
software developers and academic technologists with combined decades of
expertise in the computational social sciences and digital humanities. Its
activities support research and teaching in these fields for the Stanford
community. CIDR collaborates both with individual faculty and with centers and
departments engaged in digital research, such as the Center for Spatial and
Textual Analysis (CESTA, incorporating the Spatial History Project, the
Literary Lab, and Humanities+Design); the Institute for Research in the Social
Sciences (IRiSS); the Stanford Humanities Center; and the Center for
Computational Social Sciences. CIDR is also a hub for
collaboration and communication among social science and digital humanities
scholars, library curators, and professional developers, promoting a sense of
shared purpose in support of the Stanford mission of research and teaching.

  
  
The successful candidate will be a skilled software developer with a deep
understanding of scholarship in the computational social sciences or the
humanities. S/he will consult and collaborate with faculty on scholarly
projects to identify technical approaches, processes and tools; evaluate and
integrate existing software tools; and design and implement new
solutions. That candidate should have both a broad and deep
understanding of current the state of the art in the computational social
sciences or the digital humanities, as well as experience developing software
for one or more of these domains: information visualization; statistical and
textual analysis; natural language processing; event modeling; large dataset
management and transformation; digital content creation, storage, and
discovery; geospatial analysis; high performance computing concepts; or
network analysis.

  
**CORE DUTIES*:**
