Reference: 300079
Occupation: Academic and Research

Salary: UKP26,017 pro rata
Closing Date: Mar 11, 2011

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.
