Good morning NDSA Members,
A colleague asked me to spread the word about a few job opportunities announced by the University of Michigan Library to support their digital preservation services and web archiving efforts:
Project Manager (Job ID: 10606)
The Library is seeking a librarian to be a project manager and specialist in the area of digital preservation services.
The successful candidate for this two-year position will work as part of a team of programmers, librarians, and other experts on a major initiative to build a new digital library system architecture.
Responsibilities will include coordination of activities among project participants, data analysis and workflow design, metadata policy and schema design, and familiarity with relevant preservation tools, systems, and services that are relevant to the work at hand and of interest to the organization. Knowledge and experience in the management, conversion, and digital preservation of archival materials is desired.
Application Programmers/Analysts (two positions): (Job ID:106084)
We’re seeking two skilled programmers to help create digital library systems and build efficient, automated workflows.
The successful candidates for these three-year positions will work as part of a team of programmers, librarians, and other experts on a major initiative to build a new digital library system architecture and populate it with new forms of content. The new system will make use of recent developments in the open source community and will handle a wide array of materials: video, music, research data sets, historical records, and more. Duties will include analyzing business and user needs and design solutions involving computer systems and software; developing and maintaining complex software systems; configuring and customizing open source software and engaging in collaborative development activity.
Demonstrated programming skills in a modern programming language. Experience with JRuby, Rails, MySQL, Perl, REST, XML and related technologies (ideally, for building data-driven web-based applications and data handling routines) is desired. This is an opportunity to join a skilled and forward-thinking group and to gain experience with modern technologies that support web-based research and archiving.
All the best,
Barrie Howard
