Overview
The Oxford University Museum of Natural History is leading the Oxford element of the Central England Digitisation Co-Hub, a major national programme that is transforming access to natural history collections through large-scale digitisation. Working closely with colleagues across Oxford, Cambridge and partner institutions, you will help preserve and make globally significant collections accessible to researchers and the public.
You will play a key role in the digitisation of natural history specimens across the Museum of Natural History and the Oxford University Herbaria. Working within a small, collaborative Digitisation Team, you will prepare and safely handle specimens, capture high quality images and metadata, and ensure digitised records meet institutional and sector standards before publication through national and international collections platforms.
You will supervise and support Digitisers in their day-to-day work, helping to maintain efficient workflows, monitor quality, troubleshoot operational issues and contribute to continuous improvement. You will also work closely with colleagues across the Central England network, share best practice, contribute to reporting and public engagement activities, and help train staff, volunteers and interns.
