The Metadata Librarian for the Humanities will have primary responsibility
for metadata creation and maintenance across a diverse array of

Librarian for the Humanities will develop metadata application guidelines

strategies, and create and maintain controlled vocabularies to support
digital scholarship and open scholarship projects.

The position will remediate existing outdated descriptive language and

develop guidelines and tools for institutional and national metadata
policies and practices.

This position has the opportunity to make significant research
contributions and to impact the state of knowledge related to a number of
areas, including challenges of descriptive practice for increasingly fluid
humanistic output; the application of linked and open data to humanistic
objects; revision of metadata for more inclusive description, discovery,
and access; application of emerging standards of labeling and notices
related to cultural protocols; and more.

The Metadata Librarian for the Humanities is a tenure-track faculty
position,  reporting to the Metadata Librarian for Non-Latin Script
