Academic-related research staff grade 1A: Salary 17,278 - 25,969 p.a.
OUCS (http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk) is a key information provider at Oxford
University, maintaining a very large and comprehensive set of
documentation which is used by students, staff and visitors to the
university at all levels. OUCS is also one of four academic sites hosting
the international Text Encoding Initiative Consortium
(http://www.tei-c.org) and a leading exponent of the TEI encoding scheme,
which is increasingly used for our internal documentation.
We urgently require a technical author to work half-time for the TEI, and
half-time for OUCS. The task is to produce high quality leaflets and
publicity materials, as well as to work with technical experts in the
production of a range of professional technical documentation. The
postholder will share their expertise in markup and encoding with a wide
audience by assisting in the development of appropriate training materials
and web content.
Applicants should have a degree or equivalent and demonstrate expertise in
technical documentation and practical experience of a web authoring
environment, preferably using XML. The successful applicant will be well
organised, able to work unsupervised and as part of a team, and have good
communication skills. The post is for one year in the first instance, with
funding expected to continue for three years.
