Coordinator (TLTP)
(6) --------------------------------------------------------------------
The Archaeology Consortium will be administered from the CTI
Centre for History with Archaeology and Art History (CTICH) at
the University of Glasgow. The Coordinator will manage the work
of the Consortium on a day to day basis, working with a part-
time secretary and with other CTICH staff. The postholder will
be responsible to the Consortium's Executive Committee and to
the CTICH Management Committee. The Coordinator will work
closely with Consortium members, development sites (including
Glasgow's Department of Archaeology) and other archaeologists at
UK universities.
The Coordinator will administer Consortium resources, provide
support services and training to departmental projects, maintain
the schedule of development work, and perform initial testing,
quality control and evaluation of Consortium products. These
tasks will be performed on behalf of, and under the direction
of, the Executive Committee, but the postholder will be expected
to exercise initiative in realising the aims of the Consortium.
The Coordinator will work from the Department of Archaeology at
the University of Glasgow, but regular visits to other
institutions, conferences and workshops will form an essential
part of the duties.
The successful candidate will be a graduate in archaeology or a
related discipline, and will have experience of research and
publication work and of teaching, preferably with computers. A
broad range of computer skills will be required. Ideally, these
will include familiarity with both PC and Macintosh platforms
and experience of using a mainstream word-processor, database
and spreadsheet. Experience with a hypermedia authoring package
will be to the candidate's advantage, as will experience in the
use of electronic mail. Additional training will be provided as
appropriate. Good administrative and communication skills will
be essential to coordinate the broad range of disparate project
work based in various departments.
Appointment will be for one year, with possible reappointment,
on Research Scale 1A within the range #12,129-#19,328 (under
review), with placement according to age, qualifications, and
experience. Secondment may be possible. The successful
candidate will be expected to take up the post as soon as
possible.
Applications (including a full c.v. and the names of 2 referees)
should be submitted to arrive no later than 13 November 1992, to
Mrs. A. V. Lee, CTICH, 1 University Gardens, University of
Glasgow, Glasgow G12 8QQ (041-339-8855, ext. 6336). Cite

Research Officer (CTICH)
(9) --------------------------------------------------------------------
The Research Officer will contribute to all aspects of Centre
work, with particular reference to archaeology and art history
and to the editing and production of the Centre's newsletter and
bulletin-board. The Officer will work closely with the Centre
Manager, Dr. Donald Spaeth, and with the Centre's full-time
secretary, as well as with other Glasgow academics involved with
computer-based teaching. The work of CTICH is overseen by its
Director, Dr. Richard Trainor, and by a management committee.
The Research Officer will also have regular contact with other
academics involved with the University of Glasgow's DISH
Project, a consortium of the departments of Economic and Social,
Modern and Scottish History, Archaeology, and Art History, and
of the University Archives. These departments use computers in
the teaching of a number of courses, including honours courses
in Historical Computing and Computer Applications in
Archaeology, an honours module on Computing for Art Historians,
and the M.Phil in History and Computing.
The Research Officer's duties will include:
1) Collecting and disseminating information about the uses of
computers in the teaching of Archaeology and Art History,
including software, datasets and teaching methods.
2) Presenting seminars, workshops and demonstrations on
computer-based methods to university departments, and
participating in conferences and courses.
3) Editing and producing camera-ready copy of the Craft
newsletter, and editing the History News bulletin-board.
4) Contributing to other CTICH publications on computer-based
teaching.
5) Reviewing software, and keeping abreast of developments in
technology and software likely to be relevant to archaeology
and art history.
6) Assisting in the planning and organisation of conferences and courses.
7) Answering requests for information and help.
8) Preparing a software guide for archaeology and art history.
The Research Officer will be a graduate in archaeology or art
history, and will have experience in the application of
computers to either of these subjects, as well as teaching or
research experience. Expertise is required in at least one of
the following applications: hypermedia, image capture, image
processing, geographical information systems, databases and
statistics. In addition, the successful candidate will have
proven communication skills and a commitment to computer-based
teaching. Evidence of initiative and the ability to work
independently will be an advantage. The Research Officer should
be prepared to travel on a regular basis.
Appointment will be for 1 year, with possible reappointment, on
Research Scale 1A within the range #12,129-#19,328 (under
review), with placement according to age, qualifications, and
experience. Secondment may be possible. The successful
candidate will be expected to take up the post as soon as
possible.
