Citizen Science Developer
Department of Astrophysics, Denys Wilkinson Building, Keble Road, Oxford
Grade 7: £29,541 - £36,298 p.a.
The University of Oxford is looking to recruit a citizen science research
software developer as part of a joint project between the Department of
Physics and the Imperial War Museum’s Lives of the First World War project.
Building on the success of high-profile citizen science projects such as
Galaxy Zoo, Planet Hunters, Old Weather and the rest of the Zooniverse
platform, the successful candidate will lead the development of a ‘citizen
history’ project. As the lead front-end developer for the project you will
work with the rest of the Zooniverse development team and be involved at
all stages of the build - initially gathering requirements from the
academic team and understanding the dataset involved before building and
deploying a high-traffic site.
This is an exciting opportunity for a talented developer to work on a
high-visibility project. This is a full-time position for 12 months,
commencing 1 April 2013 or soon thereafter. Strong HTML/CSS/Javascript
skills are required, along with an understanding of user interface design.
A background in developing highly-usable interfaces for web applications
and experience of working with a modern web framework such as Ruby on Rails
would be an advantage. A degree in computer science or equivalent.
The postholder would be situated in the Beecroft Institute of Particle
Astrophysics and Cosmology (BIPAC) in the Department of Physics.
Only applications received by midday on 5 March 2013 can be considered. You
will be required to upload a CV including links to examples of development
work, and the names and addresses of two referees as part of your online
application.
