About CLOSER
CLOSER, the home of longitudinal research, is the interdisciplinary partnership of leading social and biomedical longitudinal population studies, the UK Data Service and The British Library. Our mission is to increase the visibility, use and impact of longitudinal population studies, data and research to ensure that longitudinal evidence is used to address the health, social, economic and environmental challenges facing the UK, now and in the future.
About the role
The candidate will be responsible for contributing to the creation and enhancement of metadata for use in CLOSER Discovery. This will involve entering questionnaires into a specialist database – Archivist – which was designed to meet the Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) metadata standard. Both the standard itself and the questionnaires involved are complex, and the post holder will need to work within detailed guidelines to ensure consistency. The post holder will work under the guidance of the Metadata Officer and will be expected to work closely with other members of the CLOSER Data Discoverability team.
This post is part-time and available until 30th September 2024 in the first instance.
