I am delighted to announce that the National Digital Stewardship
Residency (NDSR) program has a very special opportunity:

    <URL:http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/ndsr/>

The Library of Congress, the Royal Library and Royal Archives,
Windsor Castle, and their partners seek an individual resident to
lead the Georgian Paper Programme project.  Time will be split
between Washington DC and the United Kingdom.

The Georgian Paper Programme is an international digital and
research enterprise based upon substantial unpublished collections
for the period 1714-1837 in the Royal Library and Royal Archives,
Windsor Castle, in partnership with King's College London, Library
of Congress, Mount Vernon Library, William and Mary College and the
Omohundro Institute.

If you aren't familiar, the NDSR program is a field experience
opportunity open to recent masters and doctoral graduates interested
in digital stewardship, who have graduated from an accredited
degree-granting program between summer 2013 and summer 2016.
Doctoral candidates with graduation beyond summer 2016 are also
encouraged to apply.  The individual selected for this position will
begin the program on September 28, 2016.

The Library and its partners will select one resident to begin a
one-year full-time paid residency to develop, apply, and advance
their digital stewardship knowledge and skills in this unique
setting.  We ask you to please share the word about this exceptional
opportunity.  Also, if you personally know of someone who would be a
good candidate please pass this message along.

This is a highly visible position, working with staff of the Royal
Trust, so it is essential that the resident demonstrate superlative
social, written and oral communication, and interpersonal skills.
The selected candidate will be presented at a formal dinner at the
British Embassy in Washington DC, in mid to late October 2016.

Applications should be emailed as soon as possible directly to me:
