The Faculty of Arts is seeking a junior web developer with an interest in digital infrastructure administration to support the activities of the CLARIAH-VL+ research infrastructure. This includes contributing to the redesign and ongoing management of the infrastructure’s web presence and setting up and maintaining a server environment for hosting key Digital Humanities (DH) software (e.g., Nodegoat, eScriptorium, Madoc).
This position is part of CLARIAH-VL+, a strategic research infrastructure project funded by the Flemish Research Foundation (FWO). CLARIAH-VL+ focuses on boosting research in the Humanities and Social Sciences using digital tools and services and fostering collaborations to create an accessible cloud platform for researchers. It unifies disciplines, which share the challenge of utilising a wide range of sources and heritage from ancient manuscripts to modern digital data. The project acts as a bridge, connecting researchers in Flanders with broader European research communities.
You will work on the re-design and implementation of the central website in order to give visibility to the developed tools and ensure a broad dissemination of the technical information received by the developers. To this scope, you will collaborate closely with the communication coordinator and with the central coordination. Moreover, you will coordinate with CLARIAH-VL+ partners and KU Leuven infrastructure: you will ensure that software officially supported by CLARIAH-VL+ is available to KU Leuven Faculty of Arts researchers, and to this scope coordinate with the other CLARIAH-VL+ partners in order to outline the best strategy to pursue for every tool (extending access to existing endpoints, creating new instances etc.).
