Final appointment level will be dependent on qualifications and experience of the selected candidate. The newly funded Variations3 digital music library project is seeking a user interface programmer to design and develop the front-end for a digital music library software system to be deployed at institutions around the nation. Based on the pioneering work of Variations2 ( http://variations2.indiana.edu), Variations3 will take the system that is currently in production at Indiana University Bloomington and, based upon requirements gathered from partner institutions, transform it into a that can be readily implemented elsewhere. Technical development is in support of a major grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). Responsibilities include user research, requirements and design specifications, prototyping, evaluation, development, and support of the user interface for a complex set of distributed applications. These applications provide students and faculty with online access of digitized music and annotations via QuickTime-based streaming audio and scanned scores. A metadata model, designed specifically for searching music collections, underlies these functions and is supported by custom tools for digitizers and catalogers. In addition, the applications integrate with other information systems on campus such as course registration, the online library catalog, course reserves listings, and authentication services. Qualifications: Bachelor's degree required. Graduate degree in computer science or closely related field preferred. Professional experience in user interface design and development required. Two or more years of programming experience required, including experience with Java Swing and Web user interface technologies. Must also have some familiarity with Unix, relational databases, and Perl. Experience with a digital audio/video streaming technology such as QuickTime highly desired, as well as experience with digital libraries or digital media applications. Experience in cross-platform user interface development (Windows and Macs) very valuable. Working knowledge of music and music notation valuable but not required. Ability to interact professionally with faculty, librarians and technical staff required. Good customer service and communication skills required.
