<P><FONT size=2>I am excited to announce that we have two developer jobs going
here in the Powerhouse Museum Web Services Unit. We are looking to fill two
roles, one working specifically on the Collections Australia Network</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>(CAN) project, and the other on a new experimental project
called About NSW.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>Both roles involve developing next generation web services for
large datasets and have a great deal of scope for creative
experimentation.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>The Collections Australia Network (CAN) role involves the
continued development of a national collections database portal as well as
cultural tourism site. CAN works across the Australian museums, galleries,
libraries and archives sector and there is a huge pool of data waiting to be
explored, visualised, and made more useful. CAN runs on a custom CMS built with
PHP and PostgreSQL.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>The About NSW position involves developing cross-government
'mashups' - pulling together data from multiple sources using harvesting and
scraping methods and APIs, to create new services that mix this government
content with museum data. The About NSW project runs on Plone CMS, but has a lot
of room for experimental visualisation and mashup work outside of
Plone.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>We are a PHP shop but there is scope within these projects for
experimentation with Ruby on Rails.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>Both roles are based on a 35hr working week (rather than the 35
hr day that you might be more used to) and have flexible working
conditions.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>The positions are both temporary positions. The Museum is
located in central Sydney, a great place to be with summer
approaching.</FONT></P>
