Job description

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 the development and
management of content for the web, would be an 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.
