It will be interesting to know how the process goes. It's good to see
the skills and role be valued enough to be formally designated. Of
course, the rate could be better.
Pity I am not yet eligible. [Not a citizen for a month or three yet.]
Disappointing, too.
Sabahat.

I am excited to announce that the Chemical Heritage Foundation[1]—a
non-profit repository in Philadelphia, USA with collections relating to the
history and heritage of chemistry, chemical engineering, and related
sciences and technologies—is seeking an experienced Wikipedian to serve as
their Wikipedian in Residence[2]. The Wikipedian in Residence will work as a
community coordinator and strengthen the relationship between CHF and the
Wikipedian community through a range of activities, similar to past
GLAM-Wiki[3] residencies. This is a full-time, temporary position with a
small stipend with an immediate opening.
The Wikipedian in Residence's potential activities includes organizing
on-site events for the local Wikipedian community, adding digital content
from CHF's holdings to Wikimedia Commons and Wikisource, encouraging
increased content or quality of Wikipedia articles using CHF resources,
teaching Wikipedia skills to the CHF staff or researcher community, and
documenting their experiences in blogs, social media, or elsewhere.

Emerging Media, at jg...@chemheritage.org, or to me if they are general
queries about Wikipedians in Residence or GLAM-Wiki. Please forward this
message to other lists or or contacts you think would be interested. Thanks!
