Fabulous! I'd jump on it myself if I was in Philadelphia.
Nice work getting this set up!

I am excited to announce that the Chemical Heritage Foundation[1]—a non-profit repository in Philadelphia, USA with collections relating to the history and heritage of chemistry, chemical engineering, and related sciences and technologies—is seeking an experienced Wikipedian to serve as their Wikipedian in Residence[2]. The Wikipedian in Residence will work as a community coordinator and strengthen the relationship between CHF and the Wikipedian community through a range of activities, similar to past GLAM-Wiki[3] residencies. This is a full-time, temporary position with a small stipend with an immediate opening.
The Wikipedian in Residence's potential activities includes organizing on-site events for the local Wikipedian community, adding digital content from CHF's holdings to Wikimedia Commons and Wikisource, encouraging increased content or quality of Wikipedia articles using CHF resources, teaching Wikipedia skills to the CHF staff or researcher community, and documenting their experiences in blogs, social media, or elsewhere.
To learn more or apply, please visit http://www.chemheritage.org/about/careers/wikipedian-in-residence.aspx. Questions relating to the position can be sent to Jeffery Guin, Manager of Emerging Media, at jguin@chemheritage.org, or to me if they are general queries about Wikipedians in Residence or GLAM-Wiki. Please forward this message to other lists or or contacts you think would be interested. Thanks!
