Any experienced Java developers out there looking for a job?
The American Academy of Religion (AAR) is recruiting a senior Java developer who has an enterprise outlook. Affiliated with Emory University and located on its main (Clifton Road) campus in Atlanta, the AAR is a 10,000-member association promoting the academic study of
religion. The AAR is also a partner in the Sakai Project. Sakai is an enterprise teaching, learning, and academic collaboration platform used by more than a third of the top universities in the world. The AAR is taking a cutting edge role in incorporating social and academic networking approaches into Sakai 3 for use by scholar associations and their members. The senior Java developer will work closely with leading Sakai developers around the world in the further development of Sakai 3, help adapt its features and user interface for use by the AAR
membership, and play a key role in the continuing development of the AAR’s information technology infrastructure. For at least the first six months, it is anticipated that about half the developer’s time will be devoted to Sakai development and adaptation, and half to the AAR’s other technology systems. Because the AAR has fewer end users than a large business, AAR find they can handle a relatively broad scope of responsibilities. The focus of the developer position will include systems integration; serving as the technical contact for a vendor redeveloping our website; and occasional database and web programming. We anticipate our IT environment will undergo a good deal of positive change the next 12 months, making the AAR an exciting place for a developer to stretch his or her wings.
