Apoloiges for Cross Posting
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.
See

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.
