The University Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is
seeking an applications analyst to join the [Carolina Digital
Repository](https://cdr.lib.unc.edu/) (CDR) Development Team in the Library
and Information Technology directorate to support Open Access initiatives on
campus.

  
Working with CDR development staff, the Analyst designs, implements, tests and
supports software projects at all stages of their lifecycles; evaluates new
technologies and services to implement or customize for use by the UNC
Community; integrates systems and works with established frameworks to support
technology and infrastructure for UNC Open Access initiatives. Given this
focus and the rapidly evolving field of digital scholarship, tasks will be
varied, presenting opportunities to learn new skills and to take on a range of
technically challenging projects with support from senior staff.

  
The position works with library staff and campus partners to address their
business needs, while coordinating with other developers, system

professionals who care about their work, within an environment that respects a
work life balance. The CDR Development group has created graphical
visualizations of repository materials, interactive administrative web
applications, and engaged in rapid prototyping activities in order to respond
to and improve workflows for its users, while also seeking to contribute back
to multiple open-source communities of technologists and professionals.

  
The Carolina Digital Repository is a digital archive for materials produced by
members of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill community. The goal
of the CDR is to preserve and provide access to UNC digital scholarly output

committed to open source development and communities such as Fedora Commons
