Following is my analysis of #DigitalCuration #Job openings from 2020. "Records and Information Management Specialist," a relative unknown last year, won this year's Most Popular Digital Curation Job Title

The running joke that "no two digital curation titles are the same" remains largely true but common titles may be starting to coalesce. In 2019 82% of all job postings had a unique title; in 2020 that number dropped to 69%.

A close second was last year's winner, Digital Archivist, followed by Digital Asset Manager. As in 2019, the survey was drawn from tweets by @DigitCurator, @archivesgig, and other accounts with the hashtag combination #DigitalCuration #Job, which likely implies a US bias.

In 2020 that dataset included 70 jobs. This drop from over 100 in 2019 is almost certainly due to the pandemic, but under the circumstances there still seems to be a surprisingly healthy demand for digital curation jobs, many of which can be performed remotely.

There seems to be some pushback on the universal use of the word "curator." Some organizations seem to be bending over backwards not to use the term, instead choosing titles like "Exhibits Librarian" and "Director of Exhibits."

The most common phrase was "Records and Information," which occurred in 13% of titles; "Digital Project/s" was next at 7%. The most popular roles were Manager (23%), Archivist (21%), Specialist (11%), and Librarian (11%), followed by Analyst, Technician, and Curator.

In 2019 the winners were, in order: Digital Archivist, Metadata Librarian, Digital Humanities Librarian, Digital Projects Coordinator, Digital Projects Specialist, Digital Asset Manager, Media Asset Librarian, Metadata Archivist, and Archive Technician. /
