The Bodleian Libraries Digital Asset Management System (DAMS) aims to provide a common digital object management and storage infrastructure to underpin the activities of the Libraries in the digital domain.
The SoftwareStore Project will involve two months of development work, with the Bodleian Libraries and Isis Innovation, to develop a 'first release' of a tool called SoftwareStore. SoftwareStore will provide storage for and dissemination of software code developed by Oxford researchers and which exploits new technologies to support increased impact. You will also work with another developer to integrate SoftwareStore with a tool called SearchResearch which will provide a registry and search tool focusing on Oxford University researchers and their research activities. Both services will be freely available for internal and external users - for example, internal departments, Research Services, Press Office, and external entities such as funders, commercial concerns or policy makers.
You will provide sole technical support for these two projects, utilising development tools, databases and web-based solutions. There will also be a requirement to liaise appropriately with technical colleagues from other units both within and outside the University.
You will be able to develop and maintain complex software solutions. You will require analytical and communication skills to determine technical and functional requirements. You will have an aptitude for developing user interfaces, particularly in a web environment. You will work well in a team of non-technical and technical colleagues to achieve common goals. You will be creative and responsive to the needs of the curators and researchers who will use the systems that you develop.
Only applications received before 12pm on Thursday 26 January 2012 can be considered. Interviews will be held on Monday 6 February 2012. You will be required to upload a supporting statement as part of your online application.
