<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I am excited to announce that the Stanford Libraries have created
a new position, Research Data Curator, who will be a member of our
Social Science Data and Software (SSDS) unit within the Center for
Interdisciplinary Digital Research (CIDR). <br>
</p>
<p><i>The Research Data Curator will support the creation and
development of a standards-based research data ecosystem and
work closely with librarians who acquire research data. The
successful candidate will work with librarians and data
specialists who will help re-envision the Library’s role within
the research data lifecycle and who can respond to and support
new research methods being used by Stanford’s research
community. The Research Data Curator will help to ensure that
Stanford Libraries-acquired collections of qualitative data,
quantitative data, text corpora, and software are properly
evaluated, structured, described, and accessioned into the
Libraries’ digital collections and are made discoverable,
accessible and usable for researchers at the University. This
position will add value to existing research data services by
tying together in a holistic way Stanford Library’s strengths in
supporting faculty research grounded in a data lifecycle
perspective. This position would actively participate in
promoting and incorporating FAIR data principles into our
strategic planning.</i><br>
</p>
<p>Please forward widely to anyone you feel might be interested in
applying. The full job listing is available at
