Hi, everyone. The Virginia Center for Digital History is hiring a programmer / project manager and I wanted all the code4lib people to know about it. VCDH is housed in the University of Virginia library, and this position will work closely with library developers and historians on digital scholarly projects. If you travel in Humanities Computing circles, you might know VCDH's work from "The Valley of the Shadow" project, which seems to be pretty well known. I am on the hiring committee for this position, and I would be happy to talk to you if you think you're interested but want to know more. The ad is vague in places: "non-proprietary databases" means eXist and Berkeley XML DB, and we don't necessarily need someone who knows them already, we need someone who is willing to learn them. They've kind of thrown everything but the kitchen sink into this ad, but please don't let that scare you off. The UVa library is a great place to work and Charlottesville is a great place to live. (We even have our own bar camp coming up: http://barcamp.org/beCamp) If this seems like your cup of tea, please apply, and if you want to know more, please email me.
