SCIENTIFIC COORDINATOR VACANCY
A Scientific Coordinator is a key role for Europeana with a view over all
the content and technology deployed in Europeana and its related projects
able to give advice to others and communicate new developments.
The job coordinates data storage, dissemination and technical tools and
services for Europeana across all its related projects. It requires an
understanding of metadata, content ingestion procedures, web technologies,
tools and services and very good communication skills. It is one of two
Scientific Coordinator roles within Europeana. Each role has a slightly
different focus, one relating more to ingestion of content and the other,
advertised here, relates to a coordination of technically related
information across the projects and the coordination with Europeana
version 1. Both roles need to support each other and be able to provide
cover.
