Why choose us? 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. 'Ligatus' conducts world-leading research into
bookbinding history, archiving, conservation and digitisation. We
have a successful record in obtaining funding and initiating
pioneering projects, including the preservation of the world's
oldest monastic library.

The role: This is a fascinating and varied role that involves
publishing, managing and optimising the digitised collections of
Ligatus, with special emphasis on quality and consistency. This will
involve administering the digitised data from its creation to
ingestion in our online management systems. You'll also specify the
requirements of the publishing systems, particularly the development
of our image/metadata capabilities, along with our Institutional
Repository and IT teams.

Your profile: A graduate with plenty of relevant experience, you're
able to work independently as well as offer the team your considered
opinions and expertise. Certainly with a high level of IT
competency, you have an impressive knowledge of XML technologies and
the ability to administer XML data and XML native databases.
Importantly, you're able to design, code, test, correct and document
batch data processing scripts and macro-commands. Attention to
detail and a methodical working approach are essential.

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. Relocation assistance is
