Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) - National University of Ireland Maynooth

from Humanist Discussion Group:

We are delighted to announce that we have two developer positions currently open at An Foras Feasa, the Humanities Institute, at the National University of Ireland Maynooth. Both provide an opportunity to work in a growing and dynamic DH centre.

Both are associated with the development of the Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) <dri.ie>. The first is a full-time Software Engineer position which provides an excellent opportunity for a software developer to work in a stimulating, challenging research environment using the latest leading edge Java innovations and Open Source technologies. The successful candidate must have the ability and willingness to take ownership of the project, design and progress it through to development, test and delivery, while working in a dynamic and collegial team-based environment.

The second position is a half time developer to work on one of the DRI's  demonstrator projects, The Letters of 1916 <lettersof1916.ie>. The Letters of 1916 is a high-profile, crowdsourced DH project. The successful candidate will take a primary role in developing an infrastructure for the  project, migrating content from its present form as a transcription desk to a digital archive, while ensuring compatibility with the DRI infrastructure.

Further details for both posts can be found here:

Closing dates for both appointments are 20 May. If you would like to speak informally about either position, please get in touch with me.
