The UCLA Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies is seeking a Staff Research Associate (SRA) for a one-year, grant-funded position. Under the direction of the project's Principal Investigator, the SRA will be responsible for directing and performing archival and library research, and for identifying and analyzing the linguistic, orthographic, paleographic and textual features of some forty (40) medieval manuscripts from libraries at St. Gall and Reichenau which the team will make accessible through online digital images, transcriptions, descriptions, contextual data, and comparative analysis. The SRA will be responsible for directing the development of XML templates and user interfaces for the project's manuscript website, and will also oversee the process of getting the digitized manuscripts online, along with transcriptions and translations of the texts the manuscripts contain. The SRA will be the full-time member of the project team responsible for directing the work of the UCLA California Digital Library (CDL) staff on the project and for supervising the work of the project's part-time graduate student assistants. The SRA serves as the primary liaison between project team members working at UCLA and team members working at the University of Vienna.

Candidates must have a Ph.D. in some area of medieval studies and strong Latin and German, as well as extensive knowledge of Carolingian paleography and codicology, and experience working with early medieval manuscripts. Experience working with XML markup and web design is strongly preferred.

The starting date for the position is as soon as possible after 1 July 2009. Please send a letter of application along with CV and at least two letters of reference to: Professor Patrick J. Geary, Department of History, UCLA, 6265 Bunche Hall Los Angeles, CA 90095-1473 (geary@ucla.edu).
