JOB: Princeton University Library is hiring the same role as my current role: Digital Scholarship Specialist. This has been a great position that I’ll continue to be in and you can join me in a great collaborative environment. Happy to answer questions. main-princeton.icims.com/jobs/19512/dig…

@sajidqayum Yes, this is an on-site position.

@EllenAmbrosone I assume it is an on-site position, is it? I am a Film Studies graduate, if any possibility of remote work, I will be available.

I’m hiring for an in-person 6-month temporary assistant position to support the South Asia collection at Princeton. The candidate must read Urdu and will be working with me on a Pakistani film project and on our ephemera in Perso-Arabic scripts. Please contact me for details!

@EllenAmbrosone How to contact you?

@Ibndeoband Yep

@EllenAmbrosone Is it the same you posted on LinkedIn a few weeks ago?

@vulgar_carbon We would like it to start asap.

"I became curious to better understand the history of collecting practices and the creation of archives and other repositories." @PrincetonHist Ph.D. candidate Adhitya Dhanapal turned a PUL Fellowship into a residency at @DukeLibraries: library.princeton.edu/news/general/2…

I’m excited for Duke, and I’m also grateful for the contribution to the South Asian Ephemera Collection! Wishing Adhitya Dhanapal all the very best! library.princeton.edu/news/general/2…
