industry and scholarly partners to develop new methods and metrics to
extend and augment traditional measures of impact of open data and open access scholarly works and public communications.
The position is for one year, renewable for another year. The salary

We are looking for candidates with a PhD in any relevant field,
including law, information, media communications, or social science.
