e-Science DCC Liaison Officer Vacancy

The DCC is welcoming applications for an e-Science DCC Liaison Officer. This post will provide research and support input to the DCC and liaison on data curation issues with the growing e-Science community in UK Higher Education and research. The post is based at the University of Edinburgh, but will form part of the Community Development team, managed from UKOLN at the University of Bath. The goal of the Community Development Team is to strengthen community curation networks and collaborative partnerships. The post-holder will require excellent analytical and problem-solving capability, good communications skills, knowledge of e-science, good technical expertise in the digital curation and preservation fields (or the ability to acquire it rapidly), and preferably experience in managing primary research data. A broad knowledge of systems and practices, and the ability to show judgement and convince others must be developed through international community engagement.
