CDH is hiring – Web/Graphic Designer
Posted on April 19, 2016 by Sarah Meadows
The Center for Digital Humanities at Princeton University is hiring a
contract Web/Graphic Designer to work on the Princeton and Slavery Digital
Archive. Position to begin immediately.
The Princeton and Slavery digital archive and research environment will
invite users to explore the impact and legacy of slavery at Princeton
University. It will include information on students, faculty, slaves,
former slaves, and their descendants, and it will tell a story encoded in
the landscape and heritage of the campus, its buildings, monuments, and
traditions. Drawing on a dynamic database of primary sources, interpretive
exhibits, maps, timelines, and other features, the site will allow users to
visualize and analyze the intimate relationship between Princeton and
America’s “peculiar institution.” As a platform for teaching, research, and
public debate, the site will contribute to broader discussions about
slavery and universities, and it will explore how these two institutions
worked together to construct, and to continue to shape, the modern world.
Responsibilities include: designing and implementing a modern,
mobile-friendly theme for an existing Omeka database, developing a coherent
graphic design in consultation with project leads, improving the visual
flow of individual Omeka exhibits, incorporating a site-specific logo and
appropriate images and fonts.
To apply, please send: CV/Resume, recent portfolio of work, and estimated
project timeline and cost to Sarah Meadows (sm34@princeton.edu). See the
