[Martin Wynne]

Technical Specialist, World War One Digital Poetry Archive*

Grade: 7
Salary: £25,633 - £31,525
2 year contract in the first instance

OUCS has recently received substantial funding from the Joint 
Information Systems Committee (JISC) to develop a digital repository of 
World War One poetry. The repository will consist predominantly of 
digital images of primary source material (manuscripts and letters) from 
major poets, plus contextual information (images, video, audio) from the 
Imperial War Museum. It will innovatively show how these can be embedded 
in teaching, and open up the archive for remote deposit via its 
"Community Collection". We are looking to recruit a Technical Specialist 
to work within our small team to design and develop the technical 
infrastructure of the digital repository, and to assist with the overall 
planning of activities and the definition of work plans for technical 
development. Other duties include writing technical reports and acting 
as a point of reference to any external technical developers or 
designers. Applicants must have a degree or equivalent experience. They 
must have practical experience in some of the following: processing XML 
for display on the web, digital repository technologies, 
interoperability, Linux environments, Apache, Tomcat, PHP. A knowledge 
of on-line learning and First World War literature would be 
advantageous. Good communication skills and the ability to work as part 
of a team will be required, together with the organizational ability 
necessary to undertake and prioritise a variety of duties.
