Digital Repository Fellow
Job description
College of Humanities
This UKRI funded post is available from 30 June 2022 until 29 March 2024.
The post
You will support the work of Prof. Elena Isayev in the College of Humanities, supporting the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) Imagining Futures Through Un/Archived Pasts project, funded by UKRI/ Arts and Humanities Research Council.
We seek to recruit a Digital Repository Fellow to be part of Imagining Futures through Un/Archived Pasts – an international project which addresses the power of who decides whose history gets to be remembered into the future and how? Focusing on questions of authorship and custodianship, it explores the formation and erasure of narratives, heritage and archives (tangible and intangible) in contexts of rupture, post-conflict, reconstruction and displacement. This project is funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council, and forms part of the Network + initiative of the Global Challenges Research Fund.
You will work with IF international project partners and Lab leaders to implement a tailored strategy for data ingestion and upload to a digital repository. You will manage the digital repository and all aspects of digital asset ingest and publication, ensuring best practice, including managing rights and ethics, and developing new functions and activities in relation to the repository. The role will include working with the Project Leader to deliver an online training programme in the curation and reliable transfer of project data, adhering to and developing best practises in digital humanities. You will be the point of contact for any repository and data related concerns.
