Subject: [DRUPAL4LIB] Job opportunities: MIT Libraries

Hello everyone,
The group I'm a part of here at MIT is conducting a national search for up to two (2) software engineers, and I wanted to share some of the relevant details here in case anyone is interested.

Our group works with a diverse range of technologies, including Drupal but also WordPress, DSpace, and increasingly platforms like Ruby and the newer Javascript frameworks. We're doing some pretty interesting work, and are looking to grow our team to tackle more projects.

For the official posting, and more details, please visit the following link:

Thanks, and my apologies if you end up getting this more than once.
Matt Bernhardt
