Job opportunity in #IATI @UN. Trainee web stuff @BBC.

Two opportunities caught my eye this week:

IATI Project Coordinator at the UN, New York

In my ongoing work with the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) it’s very encouraging to see posts like this – signalling a strong future for the data standard and wider infrastructure.

This post looks to be a mix of tech know-how and organisational know-how.  I look forward to working with the resultant XML!

Deadline: 13th Feb 2012

Web Team Assistant Apprentice, BBC, MediaCity, Salford

Closer to home, this post(s) looks interesting for people getting a step into the BBC.  There has been much criticism of the lack of jobs and opportunities created locally by the BBC move (but good to see Leslie from Salford Lads Club seeing the positives), so interesting to see that this post is open to those that live “within Greater Manchester”.

Deadline: 17th Feb 2012

 

Good luck to all that apply!

Digital / Data / Campaigning Jobs Galore

Through mailing lists such as Non-profit Tech Jobs and ProgressiveExchange, I get notice of a lot of really interesting job opportunities on a regular basis.  

Today however, I learnt of three others via other contacts and mailing lists, so just wanted to share:

National Archives Traineeship at Manchester Archives

This came up via Open Data Manchester – a post dealing with lifting and processing lots of interesting data around sociological research at Manchester Uni…

In a different set of circumstances, I’d go for these myself!
