The following is a job advert for a post in the new AHRC ICT Methods Network
based in the Centre for Computing in the Humanities (CCH) at King's College
London. This newly commissioned Network will support the use of ICT for
advanced research in the arts and humanities. It comprises a partnership of
5 institutions, jointly directed by Marilyn Deegan and Harold Short, and
managed by Lorna Hughes.

As many will know, the CCH is a dynamic, rapidly growing academic department
and development centre in one of the UK's leading research-intensive
institutions. I urge you to send this advert to anyone whom you might
consider to be eligible. Although the appointment is for a fixed term, the
growth of humanities computing in the UK, especially at the CCH, should
allow the successful applicant to find exciting opportunities subsequent to
it.

All communication regarding this job should be directed to Lorna Hughes,
lorna.hughes_at_kcl.ac.uk.

Yours,

Senior Project Officer: Network Activities and Publications Coordinator.

The holder of this position will be responsible for the development and
management of a broad programme of activities and publications to promote,
support and disseminate the use of ICT for effective research in the arts
and humanities, and take responsibility for overall supervision of all
stages of these activities and publications, including planning, development
and implementation. This will include the preparation of application
procedures, contracts, budgets and evaluation plans. Proposed activities
include expert seminars, workshops, conferences and postgraduate training
events. All activities and publications will be developed in close
consultation with the Manager and Directors of the Methods Network and with
staff from a number of participating institutions, in particular the Arts
and Humanities Data Service (AHDS).

Applicants should have a degree in a humanities, arts or related discipline,
and extensive experience of working on a collaborative basis in major
research projects involving research academics and specialists in applied
computing, and have experience of managing complex events and activities in
an academic context. An interest and expertise in electronic publishing and
its implementation, as well as expertise in the technologies associated with

advantage. Flexibility and the ability to work as part of a team are
essential, as are excellent communication skills and the ability to plan and
implement projects and work to deadlines.
