[Rdap] Job Posting - Metadata Analysis Librarian

[Andi Ogier]

**insert usual meaningless apology for cross posting here**

Hi RDAP!

I wanted to pass along this job ad we just posted for a Metadata Analysis
Librarian. Organizationally, metadata work is now a part of Data Services,
and we're trying to build up production work to better serve the (slowly
growing) diversity of our community. Our team is strongly committed to
mentoring, supporting our faculty's research, and establishing safe spaces
where early career librarians from underrepresented groups can grow and
thrive.

Thanks,
Andi
