historians to further develop and analyze a digitized corpus of quasi-legal
statements from witnesses to the 1641 rebellion in Ireland. Consulting with
Humanities Computing experts in Dublin, the postholder will develop
facility with IBM LanguageWare?, and will work with the PI and Early Modern
English Research Fellow to develop the ontologies needed to manipulate the
digital corpus in order to be able to interrogate it about the nature of

interactive research site for use by linguists, historians and lay inquirers.

computer science discipline, or to be appointed as a Research Assistant you
must hold a Master's degree plus the appropriate level of experience that
demonstrates the required skills and capabilities. You should have
demonstrated expertise in java programming, databases, XML, and have a
strong understanding of modern web technologies. You will be disciplined,

transformative research technology. A flair for user interface design and
visualization techniques would be prove advantageous.
