The Griffith Institute is seeking to appoint from late 2009 an ICT
Officer to provide support for the Online Egyptological Bibliography
(OEB), which will be moved from Amsterdam to a server in Oxford in late
2009 and will be further developed and migrated to a new software
platform over the next year. This is a major database project that
involves integrating material from diverse sources, including other
databases that are to be incorporated into the OEB, as well as designing
new input and search modules for use in a Unicode-compliant system. The
successful candidate will have a professional knowledge of database
systems, including Microsoft Access and MySQL with complex SQL
statements and queries, as well as web-based systems, notably ASP, PHP,
internet technologies such as (X)HTML and JavaScript, and general web
design. She or he will also manage integrity, security, and online
subscriptions to the OEB. This is a challenging position that will suit
particularly a specialist in computing for the humanities.

Further particulars, including details on how to apply, should be
obtained from www.admin.ox.ac.uk/fp/ or from the office of The Faculty
Board Secretary, Oriental Institute, Pusey Lane, Oxford OX1 2LE, tel.
01865 288202, email [log in to unmask], to whom applications should
be sent not later than Friday 24 July 2009

The University is an equal opportunities employer.
