We're on the lookout for a postdoctoral research associate who will join the GLOW team.
Much public good could be derived from the analysis of government records, particularly records in digital form. Yet, access to these data is extremely difficult. Archival emails and other born-digital records are rarely accessible to users for many reasons - including confidentiality, privacy, national security, copyright, technological constraints, and a lack of organisation.
The GLOW project will connect government professionals with Computer Scientists, Digital Humanists and professionals in the GLAM sector (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) in the UK and USA – in order to unlock government archives with AI.
The project is led by Professor Lise Jaillant, Professor of Digital Cultural Heritage. The researcher will work closely with the PI to deliver this project.
Your primary responsibilities will be to conduct qualitative research including data collection, analysis and management, to manage communications with the stakeholders involved in the project, and to contribute to the organisation and delivery of the project events.
