Grow your career in a city full of stories. Unlocking Edinburgh.

A unique employer in a vibrant city.

The University isn’t just any employer. We are part of a local community and a contributor to global thinking, progress and research. In Edinburgh, you are in one of the world’s most attractive cities with active arts and social sectors, while working in a University that has made significant contributions to society, medicine, physics and teaching for over four centuries.

The University of Edinburgh is a world-class organisation. We are a large University covering a wide range of activities. In Professional Services, we support the University’s research and teaching, offering many career and role specialisms.

The Opportunity:

The Project Archivist (Salvesen) will catalogue and promote the Archives of Christian Salvesen Ltd. through the Archives Revealed Funded Project ‘The Last Catch: Surfacing Stories from the Salvesen Whaling Archive’. The successful candidate will also review existing data protection and access restrictions, and will liaise with project partners - including South Georgia Heritage Trust, Living Memory Association (Leith) and academic stakeholders - to deliver engagement activity and ensure relevant knowledge and perspectives are appropriately reflected in the catalogue to support future use.

Championing equality, diversity, and inclusion

The University of Edinburgh holds a Silver Athena SWAN award in recognition of our commitment to advance gender equality in higher education. We are members of the Race Equality Charter, and we are also Stonewall Scotland Diversity Champions, actively promoting LGBT equality.

We welcome applications from all qualified candidates and particularly encourage applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic candidates, as we acknowledge they are currently underrepresented in the GLAM sector.

Prior to any employment commencing with the University, you will be required to evidence your right to work in the UK. Further information is available on our right to work webpages .

On this occasion the University will not consider applicants requiring sponsorship for this role. International workers will therefore only be able to take up this role if they can demonstrate an alternative right to work in the UK.

Unless stated otherwise, the closing time for applications is 11:59 pm (UK time). If you are applying from outside the UK, the closing time shown on our adverts will automatically adjust to your browser’s local time zone.
