Apologies for Cross Posting: I hope that this notice is of sufficient interest for colleagues on this list.
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to say that SHERPA is expanding its team in the University of Nottingham. There are currently two posts being advertised as SHERPA European Development Officers. Although duties will be varied, the principle work will be on the European project "DRIVER" which is working to establish a repository infrastructure across Europe - see http://www.driver-repository.eu/ Our work is involved in advocacy and setting up networks of contacts and advocates in European countries. This is a major project, with great potential to help form the future repository structure of Europe.
Adverts have just appeared in the Guardian, Times Higher and Cilip Gazette. Information is up on the University recuritment pages -

A summary of the posts' details is below.
Please do pass on this information to any relevant notice boards, or anyone you know who may be interested.
Regards,
Bill

Closing Date : Monday 14 August 2006
Help us to open access to the world's research
Two motivated self-starters are required to work in the highly successful SHERPA consortium developing open access web projects. These are high-profile posts and the successful candidates will learn from, and contribute to, national and international developments in the Open Access movement. They will be primarily involved in the DRIVER project, developing a European infrastructure for Open Access to research. The work will involve analysis of funding bodies, universities and research institutions across Europe, identifying stakeholders and producing advocacy strategies and materials to help promote Open Access repositories. These posts will involve some travel within the UK and abroad.
The roles will include supporting academics, advising senior institutional managers and acting as advocates of open access on an international scale. These posts require excellent communication skills and a creative approach to promoting repository use. The use of a European language will be an advantage.
Candidates should be educated to degree level or equivalent with a relevant further qualification or experience an advantage. In addition, candidates should ideally have a background in an HE/research environment with further experience in relevant fields an advantage.
Salary will be within the range £23,457 - £28,850 per annum, depending on qualifications and experience (salary can progress to £33,445 per annum, subject to performance). These posts will be offered on a fixed-term contract until 30 November 2007 and are open to job share.
