Oxford, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time

The Faculty of History is recruiting for a Digital Editorial Assistant and Administrator who will be based at the Faculty of History, George Street, Oxford. This is an exciting opportunity to join Early Modern Letters Online [EMLO], the union catalogue created and maintained by the ‘Cultures of Knowledge’ [CofK] research project.

**The Role**

You will contribute to the editorial work already underway in EMLO to ensure that newly ingested metadata describing early modern letters, the people who wrote them, the places from and to which they were sent, and their retrieval information conform to the union catalogue’s existing standards. This work will involve data entry, data manipulation, and the tidying of information about early modern letters and their associated records as catalogues are prepared for upload into and publication in EMLO. You will provide high-quality administrative assistance to EMLO’s Editor and to members of the Steering Committee for Cultures of Knowledge project.

**About you**

You will have strong literacy and numeracy skills, and working knowledge of at least one second European language (German, French, or Italian) and rudimentary knowledge of Latin, as well as the ability to maintain exceptional standards of accuracy while working quickly on routine and often mechanical and repetitive tasks. Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to work well as part of a multi-disciplinary, international team is essential. Experience of high-volume proofreading and editorial work in a deadline-driven professional context, and experience of data entry and/or data-quality assurance work is desirable.

The job description provides you with further details of the essential criteria for this post.

**Application Process**

You will be asked to upload a CV and a supporting statement. The supporting statement must explain how you meet each of the selection criteria for the post using examples of your skills and experience. This may include experience gained in employment, education, or during career breaks (such as time out to care for dependants).

**noon Wednesday 6th September 2023** can be considered.

You will be based in the Faculty of History but you will be able to agree a pattern of regular remote working with your line manager.

**Committed to equality and valuing diversity
