Hi Everyone

Apologies if this is a little off topic, but given we have two jobs 
going (amid the current jobs crisis) I hope you dont mind me posting 
this to the Digital Classicist list - someone with TEI and XML from this 
community would be a welcome addition to the project, or do pass it on 
to anyone you know who would fit the bill.

best,

Melissa

The Bentham Papers Transcription Initiative is an ambitious and 
ground-breaking project which will increase access to and encourage user 
participation with the papers of the philosopher and reformer Jeremy 
Bentham (1748–1832, see http://www.ucl.ac.uk/Bentham-Project/).  We are 
now hiring for two postdoc research associates. Both posts are available 
immediately and funded for one year in the first instance.

Research Associate: The post holder will co-ordinate the various aspects 
of the project. They will write up the documentation for the amateur 
transcribers, run the publicity campaign which will recruit them, act as 
moderator of the submitted transcripts, and help to draft the 
qualitative user study and the final report.

  for further information.

Research Associate (IT): The post holder will be working with the other 
Research Associate and the web developer to create an attractive and 
intuitive interface. They will take responsibility for the mark-up of 
the existing transcripts from MS Word into TEI compliant XML, link the 
digital images to the existing database catalogue and the transcription 
tool, and help draft user documentation and a qualitative user study.
See 
https://atsv7.wcn.co.uk/search_engine/jobs.cgi?owner=5041178&ownertype=fair&jcode=1129779 
for further information.

Closing date for both applications is 8th March 2010. Please get in 
touch with Philip Schofield ([log in to unmask]) or Melissa Terras 
([log in to unmask]) if you have any queries, or want further information.
