              The Getty Art History Information Program
 
              PROGRAM MANAGER, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ISSUES & POLICY
 
              The Getty Art History Information Program (AHIP) seeks to
              improve access to research information in the visual arts
              through the use of computer automation. In collaboration with
              domestic and international institutions and organizations,
              AHIP develops products that meet the emerging research needs
              of art historians and initiates and supports programs in four
              major areas: issues and policy; standards and resources;
              research database projects; and technical development and
              research.
 
              Reporting to the Director of the Art History Information
              Program (a position currently held by an Acting Director),
              the Program Manager, Information Technology Issues and Policy
              will address information issues of importance to AHIP's
              mission by formulating and implementing strategic plans
              aimed at shaping policy within the arena of art historical
              and humanities computing. S/he will represent AHIP
              information technology activities and interests to other
              Trust programs and to national and international
              organizations. S/he will serve as a consulting resource for
              the AHIP Director, Program Managers and their staff on
              technical issues relating to their projects. S/he will
              assist with evaluation of new projects or changes
              in current project direction and with planning and
              managing computer projects. S/he will formulate steps toward
              the intellectual integration of humanities databases.
 
              The Program Manager should be a seasoned professional with a
              significant background in policy level management and data
              base projects for the humanities. A high level of proficiency
              with diverse and sophisticated technologies including data
              communications is important. An interest in the history of
              art and/or the related humanities would be highly desirable. An
              advanced degree or an equivalent combination of coursework,
              training and experience is required with preference given to
              candidates with advanced degrees in information or computer
              science.
 
              An excellent benefits package and salary commensurate with
              qualifications and experience will be provided.
