Taxonomist

Description

Harper’s Magazine is hiring a Taxonomist to continue maintaining and enhancing its 172-year digital archive. Applicants must be familiar with both Library of Congress Subject Headings and SEO keywords, as they will index every article in each new issue of the magazine with those conventions. Additionally, they will assist the magazine’s Vice President of Digital in a long-term archival project that will integrate both systems into harpers.org. Knowledge of best practices for creating and sustaining digital collections is required, though programming or technical skills are not.

This is a remote, permanent, part-time freelance position that pays $40-$50/hour, based on experience.  Harper’s is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and we are committed to diversity in the workplace. To apply, please send a cover letter and résumé to webmaster@harpers.org.
