The Bodleian Libraries has ambitions to increase significantly its commitment to archiving web-based content, including social media data, algorithms, and other important resources which impact how these materials are generated and experienced. As part of this strategic development we will soon begin the Research & Scoping phase of the Algorithmic Archive project, which will research and propose a roadmap for the Libraries’ services in this area. We now need to recruit a Technical Research Officer who will work closely with our Curatorial & Policy Research Officer to undertake the investigation work required by the project. The two roles will work together closely, and as part of the wider Bodleian team.
This is a full-time, fixed-term position, working 37.5 hours per week for 12 months. Working from home will be possible, though some elements of the project’s work may require you to be on Libraries’ premises or elsewhere. For this reason, the post-holder must be based in the UK and able to travel to Oxford.
This position is subject to a satisfactory basic Disclosure and Barring Service check.
