Project Coordinator, METRO, New York, NY

Posted March 14, 2018

The position is with METRO in New York City.

The Project Coordinator is a temporary, 20-hour per week position running from date-of-hire through December 2019. This position is open to both new and experienced project managers and information professionals interested in supporting advances in born-digital audio preservation and community outreach through managing an education and outreach program focused on podcast preservation.

The position’s responsibility will be as day-to-day coordinator of METRO’s “Preserve This Podcast” tutorial and outreach project, an exciting new expansion of METRO’s community digital archiving programs into the world of podcasting and born-digital audio. The “Preserve This Podcast” project is part of a two-year, Mellon Foundation funded initiative to spread awareness and knowledge about the needs, strategies, and technologies of podcast preservation to independent audio producers and A/V archivists, helping them take measures to ensure that independently produced podcasts don’t disappear or become inaccessible over time. The information and tutorials will be transmitted via a short podcast series, a zine, a website, a set of guidelines, social media, and several in-person tutorials. It will be the role of the Project Coordinator to help support these activities and manage the logistics of the grant.
