The Integrated Census Microdata (I-CeM) Project


This major new project is funded by the UK Economic and Social Research Council and located in the Department of
History at the University of Essex, in collaboration the UK Data Archive. In conjunction with key commercial
partners, the project will create an enhanced census data collection for Great Britain covering the period 1851 to
1911. As a result a number of new positions are being created. In the first instance we are looking to recruit a
Project Manager and Research Officer.

 

Project Manager

An experienced manager is now being sought to play a leading role in this high-profile project. The postholder will
be responsible for co-ordination of the project and ensuring that the project plan is carried out successfully and
is delivered on time and on budget. This will include oversight of both financial and staffing issues as well as the
effective promotion of the project. They will also be responsible for liaison with national shakeholders, including
the funder and commercial partners; organisation of user consultation workshops and Advisory Board meetings; and
contributing to the writing of outreach materials and guides, as appropriate. Applicants must have previous
management experience with a working knowledge of project management techniques. Excellent communication,
organisation and problem solving skills are essential. Appointment to this full-time post will be for a fixed term
to March 2011 in the first instance. Secondment will be considered. Further details and information on how to apply
are at: http://gs12.globalsuccessor.com/fe/tpl_essex01.asp?newms=jj&id=40831

 

Research Officer

The Research Officer will specialise in the construction of standardised occupational coding schemes, harmonised
over time and, where possible, mapped to other classificatory schemes. The successful candidate will also be
responsible for investigating the integration and harmonisation of coding schemes for other key census variables,
including family and household indicators and birthplace geography. The postholder will also be expected to support
the promotion of the project, contribute to meetings and workshops and the writing of reports, teaching materials
and user guides. Applicants should be educated to degree level and ideally have experience of research in which
methodical working and problem solving skills were a key part. They should be IT literate, and a knowledge of the
development of large-scale data resources would be a distinct advantage. This is a fixed term post to 2011 in the
first instance. Further details and information on how to apply are at:
http://gs12.globalsuccessor.com/fe/tpl_essex01.asp?newms=jj&id=40849 

 

Additional posts

The project will also be looking to recruit a number of technical specialists. In particular it will be looking to
recruit a GIS specialist  to create a standardised parish-level GIS to link to the census data and to produce a
web-based mapping tool in order to enable users to visualise the data, over time for various administrative areas
and a Programmer who will devise programmes for the semi-automatic coding of character string variables (occupations
and birthplaces) using natural language programming (NLP) methodologies.

 

Anyone interesting in these positions, or the project in general is also invited to email the project PI
(schurer at essex.ac.uk) for further information.
