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.
