We are seeking an Open Access and Repository Assistant to join the Open Access Collections Team within the Bodleian Libraries, working to support Open Access at Oxford, whilst supporting the maintenance and development of the Oxford OA Payments system and Oxford University Research Archive (ORA).
The post-holder will be primarily responsible for processing funding applications for academic outputs. For some open access pathways, a fee must be paid. This fee is referred to as an Article Processing Charge (APC) or a Book Processing Charge (BPC). The Open Access Collections Team, within the Bodleian Libraries, is responsible for the administration of APCs and BPCs, and the compliance checks and corrections for these outputs. A secondary aspect of the role will be reviewing material deposited to ORA by Oxford academics. This post provides a great opportunity to transfer the “traditional” bibliographic skills of cataloguing and authority control to the newer and still-developing area of research output data management.
This is a full-time, fixed-term position, working 36.5 hours per week for one year from the start date of the successful candidate.
