From: Sue Thomas 
Subject: Vacancy for a Research Fellow in social software and narrative

PLEASE CIRCULATE

Our successful AHRC application has created an opportunity for a
postdoctoral researcher for a project entitled 'Interdisciplinary
applications of experimental social software to the study of narrative
in digital contexts', led by Professor Sue Thomas. This one year post is
jointly based in the Institute of Creative Technologies and the Faculty
of Humanities at De Montfort University, Leicester, UK.

You will have a major role in the survey and evaluation of collaborative
social software tools and their application to people-to-people models
of transdisciplinary knowledge-sharing in relation to narratives in a
digital context.

You will have a PhD (or have recently submitted your doctorate) and you
will probably, but not necessarily, have a first degree in a Humanities
subject. You will have a proven knowledge of narrative in digital
environments and experience of managing web-based collaborative tools. A
substantial understanding of the technical aspects of the project,
including knowledge of HTML, databases, data collection and analysis
skills, are a requirement of the post.

Closing date for applications 17th March 2006.

Interviews for the post will take place on Monday 10th April with a
preferred start date of 22nd May 2006
