[Jpjobs] CLIR/DLF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Data Curation for the Sciences and Social Sciences

[Julia Westwater]

A Joint Program alum is working here now and passed this along:

Position Description

The fellow's work will focus on data publication, including but not 
limited to (a) its potential value as a scholarly endeavor that 
contributes to data sharing, reuse and preservation, and (b) how data 
publication may fit into libraries' current service offerings. In this 
capacity, the fellow will:

 1. Conduct an analysis of existing data publication initiatives to
    inform our effort;
 2. Investigate the role of University of California (UC) libraries in
    the data publication space;
 3. Understand and explore the potential for applying altmetrics to a UC
    data publication service;
 4. Investigate what peer review means in a data publication environment;
 5. Consider the policies needed to enable data publishing (e.g.,
    copyright, intellectual property);
 6. Construct a conceptual end-­to-­end workflow for data publication
    for the UC and beyond.

We expect the fellow chosen to shape this position into something that 
both interests them and benefits the library/museum community at large, 
therefore the duties and responsibilities described in this summary are 
open to interpretation and revision.
