In this position, Justin will focus on strategically managing P&SC’s portfolio of open access publishing and dissemination services that include eScholarship, UC’s institutional repository and open access publishing platform, as well as the systemwide UC Publication Management System.  Working closely with service managers, campus stakeholders, and external partners, he will grow our ability to provide transformative scholarly communications solutions, while ensuring the reliable, daily operations of our existing services.
