[Commlist] Job Opportunities: Research Fellow and Project Manager to support the COPIM project

Fri Oct 04 22:42:10 GMT 2019





/The Centre for Postdigital Cultures/(CPC), builds on the strong and distinctive track-record of scholars at Coventry University encompassing a range of disciplines in the arts and humanities. Led by Professor Gary Hall, the CPC explores how innovations in postdigital cultures can enable 21st century society to respond to the challenges it faces in relation to the digital at a global, national and local level.

/COPIM/is a strategic international partnership led by Coventry University and the Centre for Postdigital Cultures, consisting of world-class universities, presses, libraries and infrastructure providers, including Birkbeck University, Lancaster University, Loughborough University Library, Trinity College, University of Cambridge, ScholarLed (e.g. Open Book Publishers and punctum books), University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) Library, Jisc Collectionsand The Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB). The project addresses the key technological, structural, and organisational hurdles-around funding, production, dissemination, discovery, reuse, and archiving-that are standing in the way of the wider adoption and impact of open access (OA) books. COPIM will realign OA book publishing away from competing commercial service providers to a more horizontal and cooperative knowledge-sharing approach.

To support COPIM we are currently recruiting for two posts:

*Research Fellow*

We are looking for an Open Access specialist with expert knowledge of academic book publishing processes and current developments in digital publishing. The Research Fellow will set up and conduct two research projects.

* Research on the governance of collectively managed infrastructures; and
* Research on experimental book publishing and reuse and engagement around OA books.

*Project Manager*

We are looking to appoint an experienced Project Manager to help deliver the programme.
