The AIC Collections DAMS, named LAKE, was launched in Spring 2017.  LAKE is poised to become the Museum’s central repository for preserving, managing, accessing and publishing millions of digital assets related to the life cycle of all AIC collection items. LAKE will store very diverse kinds of digital assets and will be accessed by staff from over 25 departments with widely different access levels. LAKE is also meant to integrate with several existing applications and data sources as both a data provider and a data consumer.

LAKE is a groundbreaking effort by a major museum to embrace standards-based, community-driven open source software to build its core data repository. It is an exciting and challenging project requiring skilled, forward-thinking individuals with a strong commitment to its core values.

Dedicate time to researching new technologies and keeping abreast of current tools, best practices and patterns used in relevant technologies as well as in the Digital Humanities fields. Attendance to conferences and other events related to museum and repository technology is expected.
Collaborate and initiate discussion with other team members on issues involving multiple areas of LAKE and other applications as needed.  Interaction with communities supporting upstream projects is also expected – if necessary, participating in interest groups and working groups on topics shared with other institutions.
Maintain good working relationships with the Collections development team, other departments of the museum in order and occasionally with on or off-site contractors to identify and address system requirements.

Bachelors or Masters degree in a related field is required.
