The Grateful Dead
For those who just can’t get enough of everything related to the Grateful Dead, the University of California, Santa Cruz has the perfect job. The university’s library currently is seeking an archivist to organize and maintain two football fields worth of materials donated by the seminal rock band. The archivist will be expected to sift through boxes of office files, contracts, payroll documents, news clippings, set lists, and fan mail formerly held at the band’s headquarters. The band broke up following the death of lead singer Jerry Garcia in 1995. The job is said to be “a potential career status position,” according to the job description.
