Offer Description

The École Pratique des Hautes Études, PSL-University in Paris, France, is inviting candidates for a senior full-stack developer / Ingénieur de recherche for participating in the development of a digital edition platform and a research database for Medieval manuscripts.

According to our preliminary schedule the work during the first year will be mostly dedicated to the creation of a digital edition platform for Arabic and Hebrew manuscripts, in particular its communication with the eScriptorium platform for Automatic Text Recognition .

It is expected that artifacts of prior digital edition projects, such as the schemas developed by Scripta Qumranica electronica and Qumran digital , will be used as a foundation. One of the task of the position during this period is coordination with a third-party contractor that will take up a part of the design and development work. In year two, the development of a research database of Hebrew manuscripts and its integration with the edition platform and eScriptorium is envisaged.

The engineer will participate in weekly video conferences about the digital edition platform and probably in some international in person meetings (United States, perhaps Germany and/or Israel depending on the University safety regulations for public service). Presenting development results at national or international conferences is possible.

Highly skilled in relational database design and optimization, in particular with open source RDBMS such as MariaDB or PostgreSQL

Comfortable with standard development practices, e.g., version control systems (git), unit testing, continuous integration, etc.

Desired working experience (in order of importance):

Proficiency with the Django web framework and Vue.js

Proficiency with best practices for web AUTH and implementations, e.g. JWT

Proficiency with Unicode handling of right-to-left scripts Hebrew and/ or Arabic

Basic understanding of TEI/XML processing

Proficiency with ETL (extract, transform, load) and complex data transformations

Basic skills in Linux web server (nginx or similar) system administration

Additional Information

Up to 4.000 euro gross monthly salary.

• CV
• if available, links to prior publicly available work, e.g., github account.

Travel requirements: Occasional travel to conferences and group meetings is required.
