Head of Digital Scholarship
Based in St Pancras, London NW1
??67,998 p.a. (more may be available for an exceptional candidate)

An opportunity such as this one rarely occurs. It's a senior
leadership position that will develop and implement our digital
scholarship strategy for social sciences and the arts and
humanities. This is an entirely new function and reflects the urgent
need for the Library to further define our contribution to, and role
in, the rapidly changing landscape of scholarly communication. This
is by no means a simple task. It's a great opportunity for us to
contribute to the future shaping of digital scholarship and to the
creation of new forms of knowledge and learning.

Are you up to the challenge? We're seeking leaders who can articulate
digital scholarship and understand the challenges ahead, building on
your experiences of collaboration, creating novel strategy
propositions and implementing user-led technologies that can exploit
our world-class collections.
