I know tonight is as heavy as it gets, you have probably seen or read the worst already.

#Harvard is hiring a University Scholarly Communication Officer and Director of Open Scholarship and Research Data Services.
https://sjobs.brassring.com/TGnewUI/Search/home/HomeWithPreLoad?partnerid=25240&siteid=5341&PageType=JobDetails&jobid=1980218#jobDetails=1980218_5341

I was the director of the Office for Scholarly Communication. When I stepped down (semi-retired) last year, Harvard restructured the office and this job ad shows the results. Basically it's the ad for my successor. It's a plum job and I recommend it to anyone who wants to work at the cutting edge of #openaccess, #opendata, and #scholcomm.
