Subject: [DHSI] Indiana University Data Curation Postdoc in Latin American
& Caribbean Studies
To: “Institute@lists.uvic.ca” <Institute@lists.uvic.ca>
The Indiana University (IU) Libraries, with support from the Council on
Library and Information Resources (CLIR) through a grant from The Andrew W.
Mellon Foundation, are seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to work on
advancing scholarly and research data curation practices and services
across various disciplines in Latin American and Caribbean Studies.
The fellow will be based organizationally in the Indiana University
Libraries, and will also hold Affiliated Researcher status at the Center
for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) and within the School
of Global and International Studies at Indiana University, and will work
closely with librarians, technologists, faculty, and graduate students to
further knowledge in data curation across various disciplines including but
not limited to archeology, anthropology, ethnomusicology, folklore,
history, linguistics, and literature with a special focus on audio/video
content. The fellow will assist in identifying best practices and defining
workflows to ensure a robust approach to data curation throughout the
research lifecycle, and ultimately, will extend IU support for
digital humanities in this broader geographic, multi-disciplinary space.
The fellow will initially focus on the data migration of the Archivo
Mesoamericano (http://archivomesoamericano.org/),a digital archive of
annotated historical and ethnographic video materials created in
collaboration with the Center for Research and Advanced Studies in Social
Anthropology (CIESAS) in Mexico, the Institute of History of Nicaragua and
Central America (IHNCA) in Nicaragua, and the Museum of the Word and the
Image (MUPI) in El Salvador, each of which hold the source materials.
