Kind regards Louise ** Please note my working hours below ** Tuesday: 8.30am - 5.30pm Wednesday - Friday: 9.00am - 4.00pm Louise Egan Mimas Marketing and Communications Mimas, 5th floor Roscoe Building The University of Manchester Oxford Road Manchester M13 9PL T: 0161 275 6931 E: louise.e...@manchester.ac.uk<mailto:louise.e...@manchester.ac.uk> W: http://mimas.ac.uk Twitter: http://twitter.com/MimasNews From: Open Educational Resources [mailto:oer-disc...@jiscmail.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Sarah Currier Sent: 09 August 2012 18:28 To: oer-disc...@jiscmail.ac.uk<mailto:oer-disc...@jiscmail.ac.uk> Subject: Jorum Team recruiting: Educational Technologist and Developer needed Hi all, Those of you who read Jackie Carter's recent blog post announcing a new era for Jorum on 1st August (http://www.jorum.ac.uk/blog/post/42/thirty-one-years-since-mtv-launched-with-video-killed-the-radio-star) may have also noted that we are moving forward with a re-constituted team. We are now recruiting. Educational technologists (whether you are from an e-learning, digital library or repositories background) and developers (Ruby on Rails a particular advantage) look here: http://www.jorum.ac.uk/news/two-new-jorum-roles-available Or read on to see a bit more about the team you'd be joining: Since I started working for Jorum in December 2011, I've been really enjoying working hard to ensure Jorum lives up to its potential; I've been associated in one way and another since they first set up the experimental Jorum project way back in.. way back. We also have a great Technical Manager in Ben Ryan whose experience with repositories for learning and teaching goes back to the earliest days too. Laura Skilton (nee Shaw), who has been leading Jorum ably for years, has taken on a challenging role for which she is very well suited: Business Development Manager; like many JISC activities we need to start thinking about expanding our potential funding opportunities. And we have a number of people within Mimas working with us on all kinds of admin, comms, graphic design, helpdesk support, etc. Now we need to round out the team with two developers and one educational technologist, all full-time until end of July 2013. We've just filled one of the developer posts internally from Manchester University's Research Computing Services (http://www.rcs.manchester.ac.uk/): Anja Le Blanc, most recently of the European project HELIO: http://www.helio-vo.eu/. Among her impressive credentials includes more mundane but much needed experience installing and maintaining Wordpress - so we can finally move the Jorum website and blog to a more up-to-date platform (the repository will stay with DSpace, with a new Front End coming, built on our API). That leaves web developer and educational technologist roles still to fill. Please see our news item here: http://www.jorum.ac.uk/news/two-new-jorum-roles-available - and pass it far and wide. Happy to answer any queries off-list.
