Greetings all, Hot off the electronic press! An exciting new opening for Brandeis Library. This is NOT a specifically Judaica or Jewish Studies position. It is, however, in an institution with very strong Jewish Studies collections, which are an integral part of the collections as a whole. And whoever is hired will get to work with yours truly on digital platforms for the rich Jewish special collections at Brandeis!
