Due to a staff member pursuing further study a new vacancy has arisen at 
the Office of Scholarly Communication at Cambridge University - Manager 
of the Institutional Repository. Details are at: 
http://www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/10908/

The University of Cambridge is seeking an enthusiastic, experienced 
individual to work within the Office of Scholarly Communication as the 
Manager of Institutional Repository. The funding landscape in the UK now 
requires that the outputs of funded research, such as research articles, 
conference proceedings and supporting research data are made publicly 
available. The University's DSpace repository houses the wide range of 
research outputs of the University, ranging from published articles and 
conference papers, through to datasets, theses, videos and molecules.

The post holder will work within the growing and friendly Office of 
Scholarly Communication at the University Library. He/she will manage 
the digital content of the institutional repository and provide 
assistance to end users, including advice relating to third party 
copyright issues. He/she will be also responsible for reviewing and 
where necessary, modifying, the structure of digital collections in the 
repository, as well as the organisation of various types of research 
outputs stored in the repository. The role holder will participate in 
the ongoing upgrades and integration of the repository within existing 
and future Library and University systems. This will involve 
consideration of workflows that increase efficiency and provide a 
positive experience for the users. The Manager of Institutional 
Repository will stay abreast of developments in discipline-specific and 
generic metadata standards, and technological advancements in digital 
curation and preservation.

Applicants should have an understanding of the academic environment, 
familiarity with a range of data formats, desktop software, and 
operating systems, and be willing to learn. Applicants should have 
expert IT skills, knowledge of Linux, command line, xml protocols, and 
the ability to communicate technical information with clarity and 
effectiveness.
