If you recall, last month CERN opened a plum job on its SOAP (Study of Open Access Publishing) project for someone knowledgeable about OA and scientific publishing and willing to supervise a major research project. CERN has extended the application deadline until January 12, 2009, and created a new web page of details.
This is important work and valuable experience with good pay and perks. Please pass the word to qualified people who might be interested.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
