Royal Museums Greenwich is one of the UK’s top 10 visitor attractions and has over 200 audio-visual elements across all three sites for visitors to experience rich interactive engagement with the objects on display. The IT department maintains all these digital components and works closely with other key departments to maintain this high quality resource and to aid the installation of audio-visual aspects for new galleries and exhibitions. The department also supports the audio-visual elements required for events held throughout the year in the museum.

This is a hugely varied and challenging role. As part of the IT team you will be at the forefront of developing technologies to deliver museum content to visitors remotely as well as managing and maintaining the digital environment across the museum. You will be liaising closely with other departments with respect to their digital needs as well as managing the technical aspects of a large number of museum events.

You will be required to support and deliver a variety of audio-visual elements, from touchscreens and projections to interactive functionality provided by microcontrollers. You will also be working with others in designing and developing innovative ways of delivering content both within the museum and to our remote visitors, using such technologies as AR/VR, live streaming, as well as designing and building electro-mechanical devices. A strong background in audio-visual support and excellent knowledge of Windows and Linux operating systems are desirable as well as experience of networking in an enterprise environment. You will be a self-starter with a determination to maintain a high standard of delivery of the museum’s audio-visual elements, eager to investigate and resolve sometimes complex issues, and keen to develop your skills and techniques to meet the ever changing needs of this dynamic and genuinely inspiring museum.

Role summary

The Natural History Museum is both a world-leading science research centre and the most visited natural history museum in Europe. With a vision of a future in which both people and the planet thrive, it is uniquely positioned to be a powerful champion for balancing humanity’s needs with those of the natural world.

It is custodian of one of the world’s most important scientific collections comprising over 80 million specimens. The scale of this collection enables researchers from all over the world to document how species have and continue to respond to environmental changes - which is vital in helping predict what might happen in the future and informing future policies and plans to help the planet.

The Museum’s 300 scientists continue to represent one of the largest groups in the world studying and enabling research into every aspect of the natural world. Their science is contributing critical data to help the global fight to save the future of the planet from the major threats of climate change and biodiversity loss through to finding solutions such as the sustainable extraction of natural resources.

The Natural History Museum’s informatics group are leading members of a series of European Commission (EC) funded digital projects working to transform the operation of European natural science collections. These multi-million Euro international initiatives bring together the collections of 115 institutions across 15 countries, representing over one billion scientific specimens and more than 5,000 scientists.

About the role

You will work across their portfolio of EC funded projects, such as SYNTHESYS+ (https://www.synthesys.info/) and ICEDIG (https://icedig.eu/). You will plan, collate, and analyse information on a range of subjects supporting the digitisation, and access to, European natural sciences collections. This work will form a critical knowledge base from which to support efforts to create integrated digital policies and processes across participating institutions. These tasks are described in a series of EC-funded projects and fall under the umbrella of the Distributed System of Scientific Collections (https://dissco.eu/), a pan-European programme of which the NHM takes a leading role.

Areas of investigation include collection digitisation, cost modelling, policy harmonisation, gathering and specifying service requirements, workflow development, logistics and coordination, as well as strategy development and project governance.

As a Business Analyst you will collate data through surveys, documents, online research and in-person or remote meetings. You will work within the informatics team, collaborating closely with project coordinators and project managers to use your analytical and interpersonal skills to gain insights and make evidence-based recommendations, through project reports, data visualisations and presentations.

The post includes opportunities for travel as part of international programmes of activity, as well as partial remote working. The post also has the potential for extension, subject to the outcome of a pending grant application.

About you

You will have experience of analysing, summarising and visualising different types of data, and the ability to distil complex ideas into readable reports and presentations for different audiences. You will be comfortable designing and using different methods to collate structured information, including surveys, online research and face-to-face meetings, complimented by your experience of working within multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional teams.

While experience in the field of natural history collections is beneficial, the main focus is on the ability to analyse diverse information and requirements and disseminate the results in a clear and concise form. We encourage applications from candidates who fulfil most of the key competencies and are willing to support training (both internal and external) and personal development opportunities to fill any gaps in knowledge.

About you

You have a passion for innovation and cross-disciplinary collaboration. With a good understanding of digital scholarship and digital humanities research with cultural heritage collections, you have a passion for collaboration and actively seek new opportunities for engagement and research that address technology, collections and the communities that together produce and curate them. You have a record of delivering interdisciplinary research, or securing research funding for interdisciplinary work. A key member of our Research and Academic Engagement department, you will proactively seek to create opportunities for enabling and conducting cutting-edge research.

This role would suit a researcher early in their postdoctoral career or who has recently completed their doctorate and is looking to develop a career in cultural heritage research.

It is important to us that our organisation is more diverse, so we encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and identities. We’re especially keen to hear from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic candidates who are currently underrepresented.

About us
The National Archives (TNA) is the official archive of the UK government and for England and Wales, making available to the public a vast collection of historical records dating back over 1,000 years. TNA is also an Independent Research Organisation (IRO), meaning we are eligible to lead UKRI-funded research. Multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research into all aspects of our collections and activities is at the heart of what we do, as we become a digital archive by instinct and design, and seek to generate new knowledge with our collections. We work with vast data collections and a range of national and international university, heritage and industry partners on areas including digital research in humanities and social sciences, computer science, archival and information science, and heritage science and conservation.

We are currently making significant investment in our Research and Academic Engagement Department which conducts, enables and disseminates world-class cross-disciplinary research. This stimulating environment provides the opportunity to develop applied collaborative research into archival practice and our collections that draws on expertise across TNA.

About the job

Summary

• Do you enjoy working with technology and digital systems at college, or at your job or voluntary work?
• Are you looking for a challenging development opportunity with a digital focus?
• Would you like supportive on-the-job training and to do real work in a rapidly developing area for the archive sector?

This is an exciting time for people with technical skills to join the archives sector. The archives of today are on hard drives, not paper. But digital assets are surprisingly fragile. New approaches and technical people are needed to capture and preserve these vital items for the future.

The Bridging the Digital Gap programme aims to increase digital skills in archives by bringing in new people from different backgrounds to create a more diverse, inclusive, and skilled workforce. For this 15-month, paid traineeship, we are looking for a talented technical person to use their skills, energy and digital confidence to help us preserve our history and find new ways for people to access and learn from that heritage.

Archives are collections of records in all media that provide a wealth of information about people, places and institutions. Archives allow us to explore our collective and individual identities. They have an impact across society. It is crucial that they are preserved to keep the past alive for future generations.

The Bridging the Digital Gap traineeship is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and managed by The National Archives. Starting in January 2021, you will spend 15 months working on real-life projects, learning on the job and gaining valuable and rewarding work experience at your host institution.

This 15-month workplace-based traineeship will run from January 2021 to March 2022. You will work 32 hours a week and be given the time during these hours to complete all training. You will be employed by The National Archives and seconded to your host institution as your place of work.

About this placement:

This traineeship will give you the opportunity to get involved in a wide range of digital activities at Gloucestershire Archives. Working closely with the existing collections team, you will help us to gather, keep and share the documented heritage of the historic county of Gloucestershire.

You will catalogue analogue, born-digital and hybrid archives in the Gloucestershire Archive collections, using newly implemented cataloguing software. You’ll have the chance to contribute to draft ingest package metadata standards for born-digital objects. You’ll gain experience in the use of Gloucestershire Archives’ SCAT (SCAT is Curation and Trust) tool to process digital archives from the collections and will have the opportunity to work with colleagues in democratic services to develop workflows to transfer and then process digital council minutes. You will also be involved in Gloucestershire Archives and Sheffield University’s collaborative digital history project: Character and the Criminal. This is an Arts & Humanities Research Council funded project to enhance data already created by Ancestry and digitise other records to reconstruct the lives of offenders in mid-19th-century Gloucestershire. The project will create a free-to-access website/database to allow users to search and analyse those lives.

You will be encouraged and supported to contribute to the wider digital preservation community through blogs and social media.

We will look for opportunities to tailor the traineeship to the interests, skills and abilities of the successful applicant.

About the training:

In addition to on-the-job training at the host institution, all eight trainees will have three days of induction and training at the start of the programme, five additional days of group training workshops, and access to e-learning courses, all offered by The National Archives.

The e-learning courses cover archive principles and management, digital capture, digital preservation, digital access and engagement (enabling and encouraging others to use digital archives), and fundraising for archives. You will also receive training in workplace skills and career development.

During the traineeship you will build a portfolio of achievement to take forward into future employment. Using this portfolio, you will become eligible to apply for Foundation Membership of the ARA, the professional body for archives. Foundation Membership is a professional qualification and confirms the candidates’ demonstrated level of competence in their chosen areas, as set out in the ARA competency framework (https://archivesandrecords.smapply.io/).

About this placement:

Warwickshire County Record Office (WCRO) safeguards, manages and develops Warwickshire’s archives so these can be accessed, interpreted and enjoyed by all. We create a coherent written memory of the county. We provide the archives service for Warwickshire County Council (WCC) and are part of Heritage and Culture Warwickshire (HCW).

WCRO has been committed to digital preservation for several years. You will be given not only training to acquire the hard skills necessary for digital preservation but also a grounding in archives and the wider heritage and information sectors.

Working closely with the Collections & Development Manager and the Digital Archivist, you will assist with the ingest of records of WCC Democratic Services, using Archivematica, the digital preservation system. You will also assist in the identification of non-text files suitable for a pilot programme which will expand the breadth of file types ingested.

You will lead on the implementation of two areas of WCRO’s work: identifying the number of file types used by WCC which will need to be preserved and compiling a digital asset register for WCC assets.

As part of HCW, you will be given a rounded experience of the heritage sector to better understand the role of digital preservation in a wider context. You will contribute to meetings and the Annual Conference to ensure the wider team understand digital preservation. You will also contribute to service plans for 2021-2022 to embed digital preservation in the ongoing work of WCRO and HCW. You will support the promotion of the importance of digital preservation to key stakeholders.
