CHAIR OF LIBRARY AND INFORMATION STUDIES
AND DIRECTOR OF THE SCHOOL

UCL invites applications for the Chair of Library and Information
Studies in our School of Library, Archive and Information Studies. It
is envisaged that the successful candidate will also be appointed
to the post of the Director of the School, for an initial period of five
years. The post will become vacant due to the retirement of
Professor Susan Hockey, the present Director. The successful
applicant will be a researcher of high international standing, and
will have the relevant managerial skills and experience to lead
this forward looking, interdisciplinary department. He or she
will also be expected to participate in teaching at both
undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The salary is negotiable
on the professorial scale.

Further particulars concerning both the post and the
School are available on the UCL website at
http://www.slais.ucl.ac.uk/chair/. Informal enquiries
may be made to Dr Rob Miller on 020 7679 2107
(international: +44 20 7679 2107), email: rsm at ucl.ac.uk.

Applications (10 copies for UK-based candidates, one
copy for overseas candidates), including a curriculum
vitae and the names and addresses of three referees
(including at least one referee based outside the candidate's
country of residence) and details of current salary, should be
addressed to the Provost and President of UCL and sent to
the Director of Academic Services, UCL, Gower Street,
London WC1E 6BT.

We particularly welcome women and black and ethnic
minority applicants as they are under represented at
this level within University College London (Section
48 of the Sex Discrimination Act 1975/38 of the
Race Relations Act 1976 apply).

The closing date for applications is Friday 14 May 2004.
It is intended that interviews for the post will be held
on Tuesday 22 June 2004.
