Digital Repository Software Developer
Grade 7: Salary £26,666 – £32,796 p.a.
Forced Migration Online (FMO, http://www.forcedmigration.org/), which
hosts a freely available web-based portal on the subject of forced
migration produced by the Refugee Studies Centre (Department of
International Development, University of Oxford), seeks an experienced
and competent software developer to develop an open access repository as
part of its JISC-funded OARS project (http://oars.forcedmigration.org).
The position is full-time for 9 months.
The work falls into two main areas: developing a new repository and
associated interfaces for FMO using the open source Fedora repository
development platform (http://www.fedora-commons.org/); and developing a
set of migration tools for uploading content from the existing FMO
repositories to the new one.
Applicants should have a degree or equivalent, a good understanding of
web technologies and services, and experience in the development of
complex software systems, including development experience of open
source SQL databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL. Experience of open
source development, especially of using the Fedora repository
development platform, would be a distinct advantage.
