The Bodleian Digital Library Systems and Services (BDLSS) at the Bodleian
Libraries provide digital services for the students, researchers and staff of
the University of Oxford.
We are now seeking a talented XML-focused Software Engineer to work on a varied
portfolio of projects led by BDLSS. Based in the BDLSS Digital Research team,
you will work with a team of developers, project managers, and archivists on a
number of key projects to enhance access and discoverability for the Bodleian's
world-class special collections. You will initially focus on developing and
implementing new technical solutions for post-medieval archival materials and
will participate in the scoping and planning of future work in this area.
Your role will include developing and helping maintain the Bodleian's growing
collections of archives and manuscripts metadata, especially its XML-based
catalogues, migrating XML-based catalogue records into new tools and
contributing to establishing cataloguing workflows. You will also participate in
related user and development communities and in training staff and act as a
resource for technical questions and forward planning.
You will also have the opportunity to contribute to a variety of future
initiatives, including projects focused on metadata management and
consolidation, Linked Open Data, and innovative approaches to search and
discovery of digital resources.
You will have a degree in a relevant technical field, or equivalent experience
with structured text processing. You will also have a strong background in XML
technologies, a collaborative approach to technical development, and an interest
in and commitment to making the Bodleian's collections more widely available to
students, researchers and the general public. A background in Digital Humanities
or experience in working with EAD and TEI metadata environments is desirable.
Owing to the nature of this post, the successful candidate will be required to
undertake a Disclosure Scotland check as well as a financial background check.
The possession of a criminal record or poor financial background will not
necessarily prevent an applicant from obtaining this post, as all cases are
judged individually according to the nature of the role and information
provided.
This post is part of a pilot scheme testing a new Supporting Evidence Form in
place of the more usual 'supporting statement'. You MUST submit a completed
Supporting Evidence Form and a copy of your CV in order for your application to
be processed. Please ensure that you carefully read the How to Apply section
provided in the Job Description, which you can download below along with the
required Supporting Evidence Form.
Only applications received online by 12.00 midday on Friday 8 September 2017 can
be considered. Interviews are expected to take place in week commencing 18
September 2017.
