New home for Computing Science Jobs and Placements

For the past couple of years we’ve used the news site hosted at http://www.ncl.ac.uk/computing/current/placements/ to look after adverts for jobs and placements. We’re moving onto this WordPress blog to allow for a wider range of information to be posted, including application guidance, related articles from elsewhere and information on relevant events on campus and further afield.

We’ll use categories and keywords to identify the job / placement adverts. Comments are welcome – you’ll need to be a registered member of the University in order to make comments.
