• Linacre IT Scholar
  

  Duration	Upto three years
  Value	£2000p.a., free accommodation and meals
  Remarks	The Computer Scholar’s primary role is to support the College’s computer services outside the normal working day, when the IT Manager or System’s Administrators are unlikely to be available, both in term-time and for most of the vacations (at least 44 weeks a year). Furthermore, the Computer Scholar would be expected to be available for some directed work by the IT Manager for up to 10 hours per week.  This figure would normally be reduced in weeks where there is a significant number of out of hour’s calls. The appointee will be required to migrate to Linacre if not already a student there and so the appointment will be subject to academic approval. An appointment has been made for 2009 and will continue for the next three years or until the College re-advertises here.
