Please quote ref: ARTS/07368
Closing date: 2 April 2012.  
The successful candidate will join the JISC-funded project, Digital Enhancement of English Place-Names (DEEP) and will be based in the Institute for Name-Studies (INS) within the School of English
(INS: http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/ins).
The project is a collaborative venture to digitise the Survey of English Place-Names; the partners are: the Institute for Name-Studies at the University of Nottingham (INS); the Centre for Data Digitisation and Analysis at Queen's University Belfast (CDDA); the Centre for e-Research at King's College London (CeRch); and the EDINA National Data Centre and the School of Informatics, both at the University of Edinburgh. This post is based in INS, within the School of English at Nottingham.
The Survey of English Place-Names is an ongoing project to publish, county by county, the names of England's cities, towns, villages, and minor places. It is the main work of the English Place-Name Society, founded in 1923 to carry out the Survey. The first county to be published, Buckinghamshire, appeared in 1925. Since then, 87 further volumes have been published: 2011 has seen the publication of the fifth volume of the Leicestershire survey. The Survey is very widely used by researchers of many disciplines within academic and non-academic communities, and DEEP will for the first time make this important scholarship available to them digitally.
The successful candidate will oversee the quality control and editing of the digitised Survey material received from the project partners. They will liaise with the current Survey editors and colleagues from within place-name studies in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales to ensure the high quality and usability of this material from a name-studies perspective. They will also be responsible for the knowledge exchange and outreach aspects of the project, developing strategies to involve non-academic groups in data-collection and dissemination such as crowd sourcing. The successful candidate will play a crucial role in ensuring that the outcome of the digitisation is appropriate to the full range of its users, and in ensuring that the integrity of the Survey scholarship is maintained. In all parts of the job, they will work closely with Dr Jayne Carroll, the Director of the INS, and Dr Paul Cavill, and will receive support from a full-time administrative assistant. The post will involve extensive collaboration with the other project partners.
Candidates should hold a first degree, or equivalent, in English, Linguistics, History, Archaeology, or other appropriate subject and a PhD, or equivalent (or be near to completion) in English, History, Linguistics, Archaeology, Historical Geography or other appropriate subject.
This full time post will be offered on a fixed term contract from 1 March 2012, (or as soon as possible thereafter) until 31 July 2013.
