["Woldering, Britta" <B.Woldering@xxxxxxx>]

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

Für die Europeana wird ein Projektmitarbeiter gesucht:

Scientific Coordinator
A Scientific Coordinator is a key role for Europeana with a view over all the 
content and
technology deployed in Europeana and its related projects able to give advice 
to others and
communicate new developments.

The job coordinates data storage, dissemination and technical tools and 
services for
Europeana across all its related projects. It requires an understanding of 
metadata, content
ingestion procedures, web technologies, tools and services and very good

relates to a coordination of technically related information across the 
projects and the
coordination with Europeana version 1. Both roles need to support each other 
and be able to
provide cover.
