The University of London

The University of London is a leading UK provider of distance and digital education internationally, offering programmes to 45,000 students in 190 countries around the world.

Although proudly rooted in London, our community and impact are global.

We are a national leader in the humanities, and we promote their value to society and the economy through knowledge creation and exchange.

We are also a federation of 17 world class higher education institutions, with collaboration at the heart of our ethos.

The University of London federation is a collective community of more than 240,000 learners and 50,000 staff, delivering world-leading research across all disciplines.

Our passion for increasing access to education and mobilising the collective power and expertise of the federation is central to our ability to transform lives around the world and address the global challenges of the future.

The Role

The University of London is looking to recruit a researcher for its University of London anniversaries project to produce an easy-to-use information resource for use by the Vice-Chancellor and other senior UoL figures on special occasions.

This resource will support and promote good relations with member institutions. It will be compiled using a mixture of primary sources (the University of London Archive) and secondary sources.

We are looking for a resourceful researcher who is capable of navigating complex multi-level findings aids and identifying appropriate excerpts for inclusion within an information resource.

Ideally, the researcher will have research experience and will be capable of working independently on a complex but rewarding assignment.

The role is envisaged as 0.6 FTE for approximately 26 weeks. It will be based in the Special Collections Reading Room, Senate House Library.
