Greetings
The 'Ensemble' Project is a new major project funded by the UK
Research Councils. Amongst other things, it will use the tools
developed by SIMILE in educational settings, looking at how they can
be used to support teaching, learning and research in higher education.
As the main contributor of technical know-how to a large
interdisciplinary project based in Cambridge, the job would be ideal
for a research-focused developer with interests in all aspects of the
Semantic Web. User interface expertise would also be useful.
