[Hiring] Data Curation Analyst @Valsoft Corporation

Role Description

Anju Software is looking for a Data Curation Analyst to support the Journal Selector and Conference Authority product. This role focuses on the day-to-day rigorous curation work this product depends on:

• Maintaining, reviewing, and updating the underlying data to ensure accuracy and usefulness for researchers and institutions.
• Reviewing and updating journal and conference records to keep them current and accurate, checking for changes in scope, publisher, indexing status, and other metadata.
• Researching new and existing journals and conferences to confirm details like publisher information, subject classification, and authority status, using primary sources and established verification processes.
• Processing incoming data change requests and corrections, following documented curation standards for consistency across the dataset.
• Flagging anomalies, duplicates, or unclear cases to the appropriate team member rather than making unilateral product or policy decisions.
• Maintaining clear documentation of curation decisions and changes made for traceability.
• Coordinating with colleagues in India-based time zones on shared curation queues, handoffs, and questions, requiring some meetings outside standard Eastern Time hours.

Qualifications

• Entry level position with 0 - 2 years of experience in data curation, editorial review, cataloging, library science, or a similar detail-focused research or data quality role.
• Comfortable working independently with large datasets and following defined workflows and standards without needing constant oversight.
• Strong attention to detail, able to spot inconsistencies or errors in data that others might miss.
• Comfortable doing research to verify facts about publishers, journals, or conferences using primary and secondary sources.
• Genuinely curious about the material, with a tendency to dig deeper when something doesn't add up.
• High standard for accuracy on every record, finding satisfaction in precise, consistent, and complete work.
• Fluent and curious about utilizing AI tools to improve day-to-day productivity, balancing speed of output with strong data quality and attention to detail.
• Continuous improvement mindset, eager to work with the automation team to improve curation processes and reduce manual/administrative burdens.
• Experience with scholarly publishing, academic journals, or bibliographic databases is a plus but not required.
