  • Develop and share recommendations to help shape a long-term strategy for digital preservation and public access in collaboration with external archival and museum partners.
  • Safely handle archival records according to established guidelines.
  • Perform regular quality assurance reviews to ensure accuracy of work completed.
  • Monitor progress to ensure timely completion of work.

QUALIFICATIONS & REQUIREMENTS:

  • Education Advanced degree in Library Science, Archival Studies, or related field.
  • Experience & Skills Experience in archival practices and management, or a minimum of 7-10 years of relevant work. Enrollment in or graduation from an MLS/MLIS program with a concentration in archives or other graduate degree with archival experience. Ideal candidates will have knowledge of Holocaust-related archival materials and immigration history and familiarity with stakeholders within the field. Familiarity with digitization technologies, metadata standards, and archival software. Familiarity working with audiovisual collections and/or oversized materials. Experience using ArchivesSpace and/or other relevant platform. Demonstrated ability to maintain a high level of accuracy and efficiency. Strong project management and stakeholder engagement skills. Experience using AI to support digitization efforts.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
