[Jpjobs] MIT OCW Department Liaison job posting

[Ronni Schwartz]

MIT OpenCourseWare is looking to fill 1-2 openings for Department Liaisons.  This is a year-long position (with possibility of extension), and we are particularly interested in hiring graduating MIT students and recent alums.

As a Department Liaison, you'll generally have a set of 3-4 departments to manage.  Within these departments, you'll recruit courses for OCW publication, evaluate materials in terms of copyright and adapt them for publication under our Creative Commons license, draft and review OCW sites, and work with faculty throughout the process.  Video is an increasingly important part of our overall publication, so you'll also be involved in arranging for courses to be captured, and preparing instructions for editing.

This job would be a good fit for someone who is interested in a lot of different fields (you'll probably be working both in departments you know well and departments you don't have much background in), enjoys interacting with people, and is organized and good with details (many courses involve tracking a bunch of small, moving parts, and careful intellectual property work).

If you're interested, please submit an application through the MIT jobs site (mit-00008634).
