I’m really excited to share news that I’m currently recruiting for the position of Research Coordinator for Archiving the 8th!

This is a part-time (0.5FTE), temporary postdoctoral position in the School of Art History & Cultural Policy at UCD, from December 2020 until 31 August 2021, working with me to support, develop, and extend the activities of the Archiving the 8th Network, funded by the Wellcome Trust. The role of the Research Coordinator will be to consolidate and develop research resources, especially a new Archiving the 8th website, working primarily online and remotely. The candidate will also be collaborating with allied research project Digital Preservation of Reproductive Health Resources: Archiving the 8th (TCD/DRI/Irish Qualitative Data Archive), also funded by the Wellcome Trust.

This is a flexible position that can be adapted to the candidate’s research/work schedule, and is ideally suited for an experienced researcher (with a PhD) with an interest and/or experience in activism, women’s rights and/or collections, archiving, and public history.
