Previous relevant experience in an academic library or archive is desirable, particularly for the post in Manuscripts, and an informed interest in using technology for the cataloguing and exploitation of special collections is essential. The appointments will be for three years for an Assistant Under-Librarian, with the possibility of reappointment to the retiring age, or for up to five years for an Assistant Library Officer, with the possibility of reappointment for periods not exceeding five years at a time.

Please indicate which post you are applying for. It is hoped to make an appointment at the earliest opportunity.
Two Computer Officers, Grade II or Grade III, in the University Computing Service, to take up appointment as soon as possible. The post-holders will be involved in the development and support of central mail services and central information services (Web and news). Specific expertise in Mail systems is required for one position, and in Web and news services for the other; a thorough understanding of Unix both as a user and from a systems administration viewpoint is essential to both. In both cases the ever growing demand for the services presses the limits of the current technology, and the jobs offer corresponding challenges and satisfactions. The appointments will be made at the level of either Computer Officer, Grade II, or Grade III, according to age and experience, and will be for three years, with the possibility of reappointment for periods not exceeding five years at a time, or, when appropriate, to the retiring age.
The pensionable scales of stipends, which are under review, are as follows:
| Computer Officer, Grade II: | £22,726 a year, rising by four annual increments to £26,523. |

Application forms and further particulars are available from the Director, University Computing Service, New Museums Site, Pembroke Street, Cambridge, CB2 3QG (e-mail lamk2@cam.ac.uk). The closing date for completed applications is 28 July 1999.
An Assistant Registrary in the University Offices to take up appointment on 1 September 1999 or as soon as possible thereafter, with duties in the Research Grants and Contracts Section. The person appointed will have specific responsibilities under the Head of the Section in the area of pre-contract administration. Those duties will include supporting principal investigators, and maintaining good relationships with sponsors. He or she will also act as deputy to the Head of the Section in respect of the non-financial parts of the Section's function, and undertake other specific projects. Applicants should be educated to degree level and have substantial, relevant experience within higher education or a related field. A degree in a scientific discipline is preferred, and familiarity with academic research and/or experience of legal documents would be an advantage. The appointment will be made for an initial period of three years, unless that requirement is waived by the Council, with the possibility of reappointment to the retiring age.
The pensionable scale of stipends for an Assistant Registrary is £20,107 a year, rising by eleven annual increments to £31,010 (under review).
Administrative Officer, Grade I or II, in the University Offices (General Board Division), to be seconded to the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages initially, to take up appointment from 1 October 1999 or as soon as possible thereafter. The person appointed is likely also to be appointed as the Secretary of the Faculty Board of Modern and Medieval Languages. Administrative experience is essential, and some computing experience desirable. The appointment will be made at either Administrative Officer, Grade I, or Grade II level, depending on age, qualifications, and experience, and will be for three years, unless the Council waive this requirement, in which case the appointment will be for a period not exceeding five years. Reappointments are for periods not exceeding five years at a time, provided that an Administrative Officer may be reappointed to the retiring age when he or she has reached the maximum of the scale of stipends for the grade.
