The project has as its main goal the establishment of an accessible mirror of the DOBES endangered languages collections at the Institute for the German Language (IDS) in Mannheim, thereby making them part of the recently funded Text+ research data infrastructure consortium in Germany. Creating such a mirror of collections that are still subject to change poses some technical challenges, as well as some legal and organizational aspects that need to be worked out. The ideal candidate will work on all of these and has experience in language documentation as well as some programming skills.

Applications are due July 1, 2022.
