my problem, in a nutshell
I came across the following job posting today (location would be Dublin, so no, I'm not really going to apply.)
A full-time (40 hours per week) vacancy has arisen for two motivated and well-organised Research Assistants (one a historian and the other a software developer) to work on the ‘1641 Depositions Project’.
[...]
The successful humanities applicant should hold a Ph.D. in History and enjoy excellent paleographic and technical skills. S/he should also have demonstrated an interest in research process transformation through the application of new and innovative social collaborative software.
The successful technology applicant should hold a Bachelors Degree (or higher) in a scientific or computer science discipline. S/he should have demonstrated expertise in java programming, databases, XML, and have a strong understanding of modern web technologies. The ideal candidate will be an out of the box thinker, innovative, and motivated by the creation of transformative technology. A flair for user interface design and visualization techniques is a definite plus.
So...if I brush up my Java would they give me both jobs? Double the salary?
