The King'™s Digital Lab (KDL) is a newly established facility within the
Faculty of Arts and Humanities, which is being created to undertake a
range of innovative digital collaborations both with academic staff
across the Faculty and with external partners, with the aim of ensuring
that the College continues to benefit from the digital turn in the
humanities. The remit of the Digital Lab will include formal projects
funded by external bodies such as the UK Research Councils, but will
also encompass a broad portfolio of services, tools, infrastructure, and
guidance around digital technologies. The vision for KDL is that it will
be entrepreneurial endeavour that is encouraged to seek out and
undertake innovative and cutting-edge work with external as well as
internal partners, including not only the Faculty, but also other parts
of King’s, as well as external clients in the public and private
sectors, including HEIs and the cultural sector.
The Faculty of Arts and Humanities is seeking to appoint a Director for
a new initiative named the King’s Digital Lab (KDL).
While an initial range of potential activities for KDL has been
identified, and are summarised in the job pack, once underway KDL will
be an independent unit, whose subsequent development and priorities will
be informed and determined by the new Director. The Director will thus
be required to produce at an early stage detailed business and
operational plans, which will identify its priorities and focuses in the
initial years of its operation, including sources of revenue. This will
also enable the Director to make considered decisions about the profile
and skills of the research development team that will be required to
achieve the aims of KDL, and to make appointments to build up this team.
The post holder will be a highly motivated and entrepreneurial leader,
with an excellent knowledge of digital humanities methods and tools and
their application across higher education and the cultural sector, and
the potential to extend beyond these domains. The post holder will take
responsibility for the staff in KDL, promoting and marketing KDL;
seeking out and securing new partnerships and clients; developing
funding streams; and for undertaking a broad range of engagement
activities, both within King’s and externally.
