OTA Resource Development Officer
The Humanities Computing Unit, based at Oxford University Computing
Services, brings together a number of local, national and international
facilities providing support for Humanities Computing at Oxford. As part of
the HCU, The Oxford Text Archive (http://ota.ahds.ac.uk/), is one of the
world's oldest and best-known electronic text centres, and since 1996 the
OTA has been working as the electronic text Service Provider for the UK's
national Arts and Humanities Data Service.
The OTA is now seeking to recruit a computer-literate graduate, with a
background in the humanities. Candidates should enjoy working with
bibliographic reference sources, as the first task to be undertaken will
involve performing quality assurance checks on the metadata relating to the
OTA's holdings. There will be opportunities to learn about the creation,
distribution, and delivery of digital resources, and to participate fully in
the work of the OTA. This post will provide an excellent start to a career
in humanities computing, information management, or electronic publishing.
Applications from persons writing-up or having recently completed a PhD
thesis are particularly welcome.
More information about the posts is available from the HCU web site at
