The Digital Innovation Team (DIT) provides cutting edge digital solutions for the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Edinburgh. An exciting new role of DIT Research Technologist has been created to promote and enable innovative use of digital technologies in a broad range of research projects. This is an amazing opportunity to help create and influence research opportunities across the College during a transformative time in research methodology.
