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

/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. They will have overall responsibility for the delivery of 
COPIM's daily operations and activities, with the support of the 
Principal Investigator (PI) and reporting to COPIM's Senior Management 
Committee. Coventry University has a dedicated team (Research Management
