Applications are invited for two posts for which funding has been
secured through the AHRC-EPSRC-JISC Arts and Humanities E-Science
initiative to support research on the application of Information
Technology to ancient documents. Both posts are attached to a project
which will develop a networked software system that can support the
imaging, documentation, and interpretation of damaged texts from the
ancient world, principally Greek and Latin papyri, inscriptions and
writing tablets. The work will be conducted under the supervision of
Professors Alan Bowman FBA, Sir Michael Brady FRS FREng (University
