As part of its commitment to technology transfer in the knowledge economy and its management of externally funded research, the University recently set up a Research Services Division to provide expert advice and professional services to the University and its academic staff. A new post has been created to oversee a range of copyright issues and other intellectual property matters. The Officer will advise on copyright issues and policies affecting the University in general and, more specifically, the University Library, and will negotiate and administer the University's agreements with the major licensing agencies. The Officer will also be involved in negotiating terms of collaborative projects with external sponsors (e.g., on-line and multi-media learning projects).
The successful candidate will need an excellent knowledge of copyright law and licensing practice and will have a good knowledge of general intellectual property law. He or she will work as part of the team providing legal advice to the Research Services Division and to other parts of the University (on intellectual property and technology transfer). He or she will have a high degree of independence and must be able to balance priorities. This is an exciting opportunity to provide advice and contribute to the development of the newly formed Research Services Division in this fast paced and rapidly changing area.
The appointment will be for three years in the first instance, 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 £21,435 a year, rising by eleven annual increments to £33,058.

For a role profile, please contact Mrs Margaret Perry (e-mail mp305@cam.ac.uk), to whom letters of application, a curriculum vitae, and details of three referees should be sent, at the above address.
