    Description

    Weston Library, Broad Street, Oxford, OX1 3BG About the role The Bodleian Libraries has ambitions to significantly increase 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.

    This role is one of two complementary Research Officer roles being recruited to undertake the investigation work required by the project.

    These 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.

    The expected start date for this position is 1 August 2024. This position is subject to a satisfactory basic Disclosure and Barring Service check.

    About You You will be knowledgeable about social media platforms and able to communicate a passion for documenting contemporary life as reflected in social media and algorithmic data.

    In addition, you will be capable of designing, delivering, and documenting the project's investigations; and of using the project's research findings to support the practical aims of the project to develop a roadmap for Bodleian services which reflects user and business requirements.

    You will have strong communication and organization skills; the ability to work independently and in a team; and the potential to contribute to professional networks to support the development of sustainable community standards and approaches.

    You will have excellent IT literacy (including an aptitude for learning new technologies and standards), and be able to demonstrate some expertise in techniques, tools and standards applicable to social media data.

    You will also have knowledge of the legal and ethical context relevant to archiving and research use of social media data.

    Ideally, you will have some experience of curatorial or collections work.

    What We Offer As an employer, we genuinely care about our employees' wellbeing and this is reflected in the range of benefits that we offer including:


    • An excellent contributory pension scheme
    • 38 days of annual leave
    • A comprehensive range of childcare services
    • Family leave schemes
    • Cycle loan scheme
    • Discounted bus travel and Season Ticket travel loans More information is available at Diversity
