Fwiw this is both part-time and temporary, not a full salaried position you'd want to move to Boston to accept. Probably most useful for someone who's already got another gig in Boston, but one that's flexible enough to let them take on a potentially interesting side job. Pay is $16/hr for 15 hours/wk (i.e. about $1k/mo), with a contract term of 13 weeks.<p>Details: <a href="http://mblc.state.ma.us/jobs/find_jobs/rss.php?job_id=8583" rel="nofollow">http://mblc.state.ma.us/jobs/find_jobs/rss.php?job_id=8583</a>
UC Berkeley already has one. My friend Kevin Gorman is the Wikipedian-in-Residence at a university: <a href="http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2014/02/25/berkeleys-wikipedian-in-residence-is-a-first/" rel="nofollow">http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2014/02/25/berkeleys-wikipedi...</a>
How does Wikipedia feel about this kind of position? Is there a perceived conflict of interest? Or are the hired contributors given leeway to build out school-specific material? (I know there's no single Wikipedia to consult -- so perhaps the governing body or influential contributors?)
