There are several positions: 1 programme manager, 1 project manager, 6 x Research Co-ordinator/Programmer (the position below - either as academic or general staff depending on background), and an admin position. Would you mind posting the text below to appropriate lists? (you'll see I've just including the text of the academic version of the position below, and then a link to where to find out more below it and the other positions, rather than including info on all positions). Best wishes, James *MACQUARIE E-LEARNING CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE (MELCOE) - Sydney, Australia * The MAMS project is a $4M+ DEST-funded research project run by the Macquarie E-learning Centre of Excellence (MELCOE), in association with a wide range of Australian and international universities and commercial vendors. The project will conduct leading-edge R&D for the integration of multiple solutions to managing authentication, authorisation and identities, together with common services for digital rights, search services and metadata management. The project provides an essential 'middleware' component to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of Australia's higher education research infrastructure. It will develop a new conceptual architecture which is capable of supporting multiple, independent models of distributed/federated access and identity management within a unified overarching framework (a "meta access management system" or "MAMS"), which is implemented locally within organisations, but with the potential for inter-institutional communication. Currently advertised positions include an overall Programme Manager, a Project Manager, several Research Co-ordinator/Programmer positions (for experts from both academic and non academic backgrounds) and an Administrative Officer.
