NaCTeM s overall remit is to deliver large-scale text mining services to the academic community, focussing initially on the biosciences. NaCTeM will work with academic and commercial partners to set up a wide range of related services and to promulgate best practice, and will play a key role in driving the associated national and international agendas in text mining. We are looking for people interested in helping to build the long-term future of NaCTeM, through effective establishment, maintenance and further development of high-quality services and service support. This is a chance to be in at the beginning of a Centre that intends to evolve into a body of major national and international importance. The University of Manchester leads the Centre consortium, which includes the University of Liverpool, and the University of Salford. In addition, 4 international self-funded partners are contributing to the consortium s work: the University of California, Berkeley; the University of Geneva; the San Diego Supercomputing Centre; and the University of Tokyo. The Project Officer will be expected to combine technical development skills and communication, project management, leadership and organisational abilities. The activities involve a significant project management component to ensure the implementation of the service to be developed at the Centre. The technical activity will be similar to that of the RA posts, but at more senior level, offering technical leadership, innovation and project management. The Commercial Manager will be expected to combine commercial and business acumen, with communication, leadership and organisational skills. The activities will involve the set-up and management of the commercial and business development activity of the Centre to support the aims and objectives of the Centre. The Commercial Manager will be responsible for the external presence and profile of the Centre in its related commercial and academic communities. The RA activities will involve a mix of infrastructure and tool development for text mining; integration of third party tools and resources; user training and support; and establishment of efficient, scalable text mining services in a GRID environment. Applicants should demonstrate flexibility and the ability to work in a multi-disciplinary team, to meet service establishment deadlines. Expertise in middleware, web-services, XML, and Java, preferably in a distributed computing environment, is desirable.
