The Digital Scholarship Web Developer position is a member of the Digital Humanities Lab (DHLab) at Yale University, housed in Sterling Memorial Library at the heart of campus. The DHLab serves Yale scholars who wish to collaborate across disciplines, with a focus on science, technology, engineering, math, arts & humanities (STEAM) projects.
This position designs and builds rich-client, web-based applications to support the work of the Digital Humanities Lab (DHLab) at Yale University, with a special emphasis on the needs of the Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies (FVAHT).
