the repository, containing digital images, text, audio, video, metadata and
other content. The Developer will also be expected to adapt and develop a
set of tools and services to support ingestion, search and discovery,
digital object delivery and presentation, annotation and preservation.
Candidates should have an undergraduate degree or equivalent experience, and
experience in the development of complex software systems, including work in
Java. The successful candidate will be self-motivated, able to demonstrate a
logical approach to problem solving and a keen, analytical mind. As the post

skills and the potential to work within a cross-disciplinary group.
