In other Dead news, the University of California, Santa Cruz has announced they are looking to hire a Grateful Dead archivist to join the staff of their Special Collections and Archives department. In what would be the coolest job ever, the archivist would plan and oversee the digital and physical processing of Grateful Dead Archives material. The band donated their archives to the university in April 2008.
