UN OCHA looking for a web developer

[CJ Hendrix]

All,

Note: this is a different consultancy than the one we posted for a Drupal developer a few days ago.  

UN OCHA is currently seeking an individual consultant (sorry, this can't be given to a company) to assist in developing web-based tools in support of the Humanitarian Exchange Language project (http://hxl.humanitarianresponse.info), an ambitious project to streamline crisis response information flows using linked open data.

The consultancy will be for 7 months starting 1-Jun (with some flexibility in the start date).  Pay will be comensurate with the experience of the chosen consultant. A Geneva (or nearby) candidate is preferred, but not required.  There is more information in the attached terms of reference, but the technical skills we are looking for are: 

Technological Experience and Awareness: Experience developing websites using PHP and Javascript with a database backend; experience developing web-based mapping applications, experience with RDF triple-stores and SPARQL; web development project design experience; experience in development of extensions for MS Excel desirable.

Please feel free to circulate this to your networks. Interested individuals should send a CV to me via email to name = hendrix and domain = un. org) by 9am, Monday 14-May.
