Title: 0.5 Research Assistant - Ligatus
Reference: 300079
Occupation: Academic and Research
College: University of the Arts London
Position Type: Temporary - Part time
Sector: Ligatus Research Unit
Salary: £26,017 pro rata
Closing Date: 11/03/2011

Job Overview

one year fixed term contract

University of the Arts London is a vibrant world centre for innovation, 
drawing together six Colleges with international reputations in art, 
design, fashion, communication and performing arts and a long 
involvement in the book arts and book conservation.

This is a rare opportunity to work alongside pioneers in the study of 
bookbinding and book conservation, gaining experience and knowledge that 
is not otherwise widely available. You will join a dynamic team of 
researchers and play a key role in developing a new field of study which 
combines historic bookbinding with digital tools.

Your chief responsibility will be to work in collaboration with Ligatus 
team members and a range of experts from Europe and the USA to help 
compile a glossary of bookbinding terms, and your responsibilities will 
include digitising, organising and filing extensive collections of 
slides of historic bookbindings.

Your organisational and communication skills will be needed to help 
organise workshops and conferences on historic bookbinding. As the first 
point of contact for online academic discussions on historic 
bookbinding, you will also manage content on the Ligatus website. 
Actively joining in with discussions, keeping records and disseminating 
conclusions will be central to your success.

To excel, you will need research experience in the field of bookbinding, 
book conservation or book history. We are also looking for an excellent 
understanding of historical bookbinding structures combined with a good 
knowledge of current work in the field. You will need to be up-to-date 
with current terminologies.

As well as your post-graduate or research degree, you will have 
enthusiasm, self-motivation and openness to new ways of working. An 
understanding of digital humanities tools is essential.

This is one of the two positions currently offered by Ligatus, with the 
second one being a part time Research Technician.

In return, University of the Arts London offers generous leave, a final 
salary pension and a commitment to your continuing personal development 
and training in an environment that encourages excellence, creativity 
and diversity.

Please download an application pack and then upload your completed 
application form by clicking on apply below. If you have any queries 
about this role that are not covered in the documentation available 
below please contact Ewelina Warner, Ligatus Administrator. Telephone: 
020 7514 6432, email: [log in to unmask]

University of the Arts London aims to be an equal opportunities employer 
embracing diversity in all areas of activity.

Title: Research Technician, part time - Ligatus
Reference: 300081
Occupation: Technical
College: University of the Arts London
Position Type: Temporary - Part time
Sector: Ligatus Research Unit
Salary: £26,017 pro rata
Closing Date: 11/03/2011
Job Overview

one year fixed term contract, 20 hours per week

University of the Arts London is a vibrant world centre for innovation, 
drawing together six Colleges with international reputations in art, 
design, fashion, communication and performing arts and a long 
involvement in the book arts and book conservation.

Ligatus is one of the University's research centres that could transform 
the role of object documentation in digital humanities. It is set to 
combine traditional bookbinding and archiving knowledge with the latest 
web technologies in a whole new way, making this role unique in its field.

At the moment, there is no system in place to manage the considerable 
volume of data Ligatus is accumulating. As part of the team, you will 
help to design a new system to organise, publish and optimise Ligatus 
digital collections. You will then manage and maintain the system, 
administering the digitised data.

Highly IT literate, you can use XML technologies and administer XML 
data, XML native databases, relational databases and simple type data. 
You can also deal with image quality issues and design, code, test and 
correct batch data processing scripts and macro-commands for both text 
and images.

Articulate, organised and team-focused, you have worked on digital 
humanities projects before and handled text encoding. Perhaps most 
importantly, you have an interest in the history of material culture, 
plus the ideas and enthusiasm needed to get a new research centre off 
the ground.

This is one of the two positions currently offered by Ligatus, with the 
second one being a part time Research Assistant.

In return, University of the Arts London offers generous leave, a final 
salary pension and a commitment to your continuing personal development 
and training in an environment that encourages excellence, creativity 
and diversity.

Please download an application pack and then upload your completed 
application form by clicking on apply below. If you have any queries 
about this role that are not covered in the documentation available 
below please contact Ewelina Warner, Ligatus Administrator. Telephone:
