The Center for Interdisciplinary Research (CIDR), a unit of Stanford University Libraries (SUL), provides subject and technology expertise, software development, digital resources, and research services to students, faculty, and staff in support of the University’s academic mission. Due to the growing demand by Stanford faculty for software development and integration in the humanities and social sciences, SUL is seeking an experienced and innovative developer for CIDR.

CIDR combines decades of Library experience, expertise, and activity in support of computational social science, digital humanities, and related research and teaching in the Stanford community. CIDR collaborates with individual faculty and centers/departments like the Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis (CESTA), the Stanford Humanities Center, the Center for Computational Social Science, and the Institute for Research in the Social Sciences (IRiSS), where digital research is actively underway. CIDR is also a hub for collaboration and communication amongst digital humanist and social science scholars, library curators and professional developers, promoting a sense of shared purpose in the Stanford environment.

We are seeking a leader and innovator in the development of world-class technologies in support of interdisciplinary digital research. The successful candidate must have a deep understanding of scholarship in the humanities and/or social sciences. S/he will consult with faculty on scholarly projects to identify technical approaches, processes and tools; evaluate and integrate existing software tools for use in the humanities and social sciences; as well as design and implement new solutions. The candidate should have both a broad and deep understanding of current the state of the art in digital humanities and/or computational social science, such as historical GIS, text analysis, natural language processing event modeling, large dataset management and transformation, spatial analysis, high performance computing concepts, or network analysis.

The CIDR Developer will join a distinguished and widely-recognized team of software developers and academic technologists with expertise in the digital humanities and computational social sciences. In addition to working directly with faculty, s/he will collaborate closely with library staff and other library technology organizations to build innovative, sophisticated, sustainable, and generalizable tools and infrastructure to support path-breaking digital research at Stanford and beyond.
