Vacancy for Information and Knowledge Specialist at King's College London
The Centre for e-Research (CeRch) based at King's College London has a remit to encourage and support the development of an e-Research culture across King's College London, and to make a significant contribution to the wider e-Research agenda in the UK and internationally with a particular focus on research infrastructures, content and knowledge creation and management, and digital scholarship. CeRch is active in the following areas:
* research and development activities, funded by external bodies such as the JISC, the AHRC, the EPSRC and the EU FP7 programme, in fields related to e-research, digital repositories, digital asset management and digital scholarship.
* provision of teaching and training. In particular, the Centre will be offering an MA programme in Digital Asset Management, starting in the academic year 2009-10, in collaboration with the Centre for Computing in the Humanities (CCH) at King's.
* the creation, representation, access and management of on-line digital collections, particularly in the humanities and social sciences
* development of paid-for services and consultancy in the Centre's areas of expertise
* contributing to an ambitious project to develop an integrated research environment across the College, with the aim of supporting and streamlining research practice and research-support processes.
To support its work, CeRch is now seeking to employ an Information and Knowledge Specialist to provide specialist competence across the broad range of information and knowledge management, including content development, representation in on-line systems, management, and metadata, classification and ontology development and standards, with particular reference to how these operate within a research context. The post-holder will be expected to make a significant contribution to identifying, analysing and implementing appropriate metadata standards, classification and taxonomy frameworks for the research infrastructures developed by CeRch for a variety of purposes, including the integrated research environment currently under development for King's; and for modelling and representing digital content and knowledge to facilitate its sustainability and reuse. This may include, for example, profiles for digital content representing particular genres of digital object produced by research activities and managed in repositories, and modelling content and knowledge in a web 2.0 environment.
