Job Opportunity: Publication Data Scientist, DSpace repository

[Bob Dougherty]

Hi all,

My company has a new position, managing our DSpace repository of scientific publications. Here is the posting:

The repo is hosted by Atmire. It is currently visible only from our company network, but there are active plans to expose parts of it to the public. The repo has about 16,000 publications; about 3,000 are added every year. All have authors from the company (Science is a big thing here). We are on DSpace v5, and are planning a migration to v7.

This is a great opportunity for someone who is technically savvy and a creative thinker. Experience with DSpace or similar systems is not mentioned in the posting, but it would be a huge "plus".

If you are interested, you should apply soon, because our postings have limited shelf lives. Let me know if you'd like more information. I'm not the hiring manager; in fact I'm retiring from the company next month. But I am very familiar with the system and the role.

Thanks,

Bob Dougherty
