TEACHING AND LEARNING COMPUTER FACILITY MANAGER

The School of Clinical Medicine wishes to appoint a Computer Associate for the Learning Teaching Technology (LT) Laboratory, based on Novell 3.12 network server software.

Interest in the educational use of computers in general and in computer-assisted instruction in particular would be desirable.

The appointment will be for two years in the first instance, with the possibility of reappointment. Salary will be on the scale of either Computer Officer IV (£15,159-£17,606 a year) or Computer Officer III (£17,606-£22,785 a year), depending on age and experience.
