University of Glasgow Seeks Director for HATII

The University of Glasgow is seeking a successor to Professor Seamus Ross, Director of Humanities Advanced Technology & Information Institute (HATII), who will be taking up the post of Dean at the Faculty of Information Studies at the University of Toronto from January 2009.

HATII is one of the leading Institutes for Humanities informatics research, playing a pivotal role in European research projects and participating in worldwide research networks. It is central to the strategy of the University's Faculty of Arts, where its research informs and enriches the work of many academic Schools and Centres, and it plays a major role as influencer and collaborator across the University. It works closely with national and international bodies to develop and set standards for digital curation and humanities informatics. The new Director, an exceptional academic and leader to be appointed at Professorial level, will be expected to develop further HATII's excellence in research and teaching on the international stage and set an agenda for the growth and development of the Institute within the University.
