Manager of Institutional Repository

The University of Cambridge is seeking an enthusiastic, experienced individual to work within the Office of Scholarly Communication as the Manager of Institutional Repository. The funding landscape in the UK now requires that the outputs of funded research, such as research articles, conference proceedings and supporting research data are made publicly available. The University's DSpace repository houses the wide range of research outputs of the University, ranging from published articles and conference papers, through to datasets, theses, videos and molecules.

The post holder will work within the growing and friendly Office of Scholarly Communication at the University Library. He/she will manage the digital content of the institutional repository and provide assistance to end users, including advice relating to third party copyright issues. He/she will be also responsible for reviewing and where necessary, modifying, the structure of digital collections in the repository, as well as the organisation of various types of research outputs stored in the repository. The role holder will participate in the ongoing upgrades and integration of the repository within existing and future Library and University systems. This will involve consideration of workflows that increase efficiency and provide a positive experience for the users. The Manager of Institutional Repository will stay abreast of developments in discipline-specific and generic metadata standards, and technological advancements in digital curation and preservation.

Applicants should have an understanding of the academic environment, familiarity with a range of data formats, desktop software, and operating systems, and be willing to learn. Applicants should have expert IT skills, knowledge of Linux, command line, xml protocols, and the ability to communicate technical information with clarity and effectiveness.
