• Vacancy for Digital Archivist at University of Cambridge

1 September 2024

Cambridge, England

Fixed Term

The Cambridge University Libraries (CUL) is due to complete a 5-year Digital Preservation Programme by July 2026, which will result in the development of a Digital Preservation Service, including infrastructure, tools, and guidance to support digital preservation.

Fixed-term: This is a fixed-term 3-year post, due to limited funding for a specific purpose.

Alongside digitised assets created by CUL's Cultural Heritage Imaging Laboratory and external suppliers, as well as the University's research outputs, born-digital archives are another category of content in scope for long-term preservation. It is expected that the acquisition of digital archives will grow in future, in both volume and variety.

At this exciting and critical juncture, we are hiring a Digital Archivist for three years initially to aid the completion of the Digital Preservation Programme and transition its services to 'business-as-usual', working closely with the Archives and Modern Manuscripts and Digital Preservation teams.

The Digital Archivist will - Develop, document, implement, and improve processes and workflows. - Appraise, acquire, and catalogue born-digital archives and support their ingest and access. - Train and support professional archivists and other curatorial staff. - Liaise with record creators, information compliance officers, and IT systems managers/developers to develop guidance and advocate for the management and archiving of core digital University records. - Use existing digital infrastructure and tools as well as those under development or to be developed in future and advise on archival requirements. - Provide advice to stakeholders on the curation of digital archives.

This is an exciting role to support CUL's digital archives, and we are seeking to work with an individual with the following experience: - Management and preservation of digital archives. - Intermediate general IT literacy and basic familiarity with relevant computer programming, storage infrastructure, and information security. - Knowledge of archival and digital preservation theory and standards and their applications to managing digital archives. - Excellent communication and teamworking skills.

Ideally, the role holder will also demonstrate the ability to liaise with and influence stakeholders, assess risks and issues to inform preservation planning and actions using research and problem-solving skills, and delegate and coordinate tasks, with a qualification in Archive Administration /Records Management or Library and Information Studies or similar relevant qualification.

Overview

A position exists for a Research Assistant/Research Associate to join the Ocean Dynamics group under the supervision of Dr. John Taylor at the University of Cambridge from 1 October 2019 or by negotiation. The project will use numerical simulations to study the interactions between submesoscales, near-inertial oscillations, and boundary layer turbulence. This work is part of an international project called “Submesoscales Under Near Resonant Inertial Shear Experiment” (SUNRISE), a collaborative effort funded by the National Science Foundation and the Natural Environment Research Council. SUNRISE aims to test and refine theories on the interaction of submesoscale flows and near-inertial motions using numerical simulations and new observations in the northern Gulf of Mexico.

Here, the Mississippi-Atchafalaya river plume forms a rich field of submesoscale eddies and fronts, which in the summer are driven by a land-sea breeze that forces inertial motions at near resonance, making this an ideal location to study the interactions between submesoscales and inertial oscillations.

• Use large-eddy simulations (LES) to study the interaction between submesoscale and near-inertial currents in idealized configurations and in realistic configurations with initial conditions and forcing set from a regional model and observations.
• Work closely with Dr. Taylor and other members of the international project team to accomplish goals; develop and conduct individual and collaborative research objectives, proposals and projects; plan and manage own research and administration; communicate material of a technical nature; build internal and external contacts.
• Assist in the supervision of student projects, the development of student research skills, provide instruction or plan/deliver seminars relating to the research area.
• Maintain experience with direct numerical simulations or large-eddy simulations; desirable.

• PhD in Oceanography, Earth Science, Applied Mathematics, or a related field, and a strong background in fluid dynamics and oceanography; experience running numerical simulations (LES/DNS) is desirable.
• Experience with running numerical simulations and a track record of research in ocean dynamics is preferred.

• Click the ‘Apply’ button below to register an account with our recruitment system and apply online.
• Indicate the contact details of two academic referees on the online application form and upload a full curriculum vitae, a list of publications and a description of your recent research (not to exceed two pages).
• Ensure that at least one referee is contactable during the selection process.

We particularly welcome applications from women and/or candidates from a BME background as they are currently under-represented at this level in our Department.
