From: "Cormack, Margaret Jean" <[log in to unmask]>
> Note what Paleography is being replaced with.
What use are text-based projects without a paleographer?
relax, Meg.
take a breath.
didn't you see that this is "digital scholarship" "using computer tools"?

operative).
hell, even the *name* paleography makes it sound like... well, it's just Old.

> The Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London is looking
for three highly motivated and technically sophisticated individuals to work
on its text-based research projects. The positions will involve using computer
tools and methods to facilitate digital scholarship.
>
> CCH is both a department with responsibility for its own academic programme
and a research centre promoting the appropriate application of computing in
humanities research. Its research projects cover a wide range of humanities
disciplines, including medieval studies, history, literature and linguistics,
and music, and also include a number of more general information management
projects in both humanities and the social sciences.
>
> The successful candidates will possess strong analytical and problem solving
skills: they will be required to identify and engage with the core scholarly
questions in a highly collaborative research context; to analyse a wide
variety of humanities materials and to model them using XML-related
technologies; to design and develop systems for editing and delivering
text-based scholarly materials and to collaborate in the design of integrated
HTML-based publication. Experience in creating and manipulating XML documents
in a range of XML-related standards and technologies (DTDs, XPath, XSLT) is
highly desirable, in particular textual materials encoded according to the
Text Encoding Initiative's guidelines.
>
> All successful candidates will need to have a good understanding of how
research is conducted in the humanities and social sciences and will be
expected to make a strong contribution to the departmental research profile.
They will need to be able to work effectively as part of a team, as well as
independently. They must have good communication skills and the ability to
document their work in clear written English.
