**Summary**  
  
Established in 2008, the Centre for e-Research (CeRch) is a research centre
located in the Department of Digital Humanities (DDH) to facilitate
interdisciplinary, institutional, national and international collaboration.

  
The Centre works collaboratively with researchers, research teams and groups,
and as partners in research projects across King's College London. It also
works in partnership with other UK HE, with European institutions, and
internationally with HE library and research institutes. It has an extensive
project portfolio funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC),
the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), the Engineering and Physical
Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), and the European Commission and has
attracted over £3 million of research income since 2008.

  
The Centre is seeking a Research Developer in dynamic web development
including implementation of front-end interfaces. The Researcher will work
across two major European Commission funded research infrastructure projects:
the European Holocaust Research Infrastructure (EHRI) (www.ehri-project.eu)
and Data Service Infrastructure for the Social Sciences and the Humanities
(Dasish) (www.dasish.eu) projects. Her/his role will be to analyse research
practices and translate and implement these in a Virtual Research Environment
and research registries.

  
**Details**  
  
The successful candidate for this position will be a web developer with
experience in sophisticated public facing web applications.

proven ability to design and implement attractive, highly-usable, and
accessible web interfaces. He/she will need to be able to work effectively as
part of a multi-national and multi-disciplinary team, as well as to work
independently. An interest in Humanities scholarship and in digital research
infrastructures to support such scholarship would be an advantage.
