Subject: Rhizome.org seeking Software Consultant

Hi everyone,

Rhizome.org, the arts non-profit I work at, has enough funding so I can 
hire a consultant to work with me for a little while ... This isn't a 
traditional gig, but would be a great opportunity for somebody who 
wants something part-time or just wants to step into the arts a little 
bit. And just 'cause we're a scrappy little non-profit doesn't mean I 
don't take our methodology seriously.

Please forward it to anyone you think might be interested.

Thanks,
Francis

Rhizome.org, a non-profit organization focused on new media art, is 
seeking a Software Consultant. The Consultant will work closely with 
the Director of Technology on a number of long-term projects, including 
improving the site's search capabilities and improving the ArtBase 
submissions process.

Rhizome.org is a highly trafficked community website that uses Ruby, 
MySQL, Apache, PHP, and Perl. Experience with specific technologies is 
less important than an interest in object-oriented design patterns, 
agile methodologies, and test-first programming. Yes, it's a computer 
job, but communication skills are important anyway. Apple and Unix 
programming snobs encouraged to apply.

This is a highly flexible short-term position. We have budgeted for a 
half-time, six-month term of employment, but this may change depending 
on the applicants. This position allows for off-site work, but 
candidates need to be in commuting distance of New York for frequent 
short meetings and pair programming sessions.

Rhizome.org is among the oldest and most well respected organizations 
in the field of new media art. For more information about the 
organization and our programs, please check out our web site: 
http://rhizome.org.

To apply, please email your detailed cover letter and resume to Francis 
Hwang at francis@rhizome.org.

Hours: 20 hours per week, scheduling flexible
Dates: April 1 - October 1, 2004 (flexible)
Location: New York
Salary: Commensurate with experience
