CSE / School of GeoSciences / Administrative Data Research (ADR) Scotland

Part Time: 21 hours a week

Fixed Term: 6 months

The Opportunity:

Together we can do great things. Be part of something bigger.

The Scottish Historic Population Platform (SHiPP) team are working to enhance the Scottish Historic Civil Registration data and provide a valuable research resource and data support service.

Working within this small, collaborative team, you will be responsible for analysing and reviewing historic sources — including maps, archival materials, and online resources — to identify locations and help geo-reference the civil registration data. There may also be opportunities to contribute to coding of historical occupations and causes of death.

If you have experience in using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), particularly QGIS, and an interest in investigating historic information, we would love to hear from you. The role is based at the Institute of Geography, Drummond Street with hybrid working available by agreement.

People have always been at the heart of our work. Our people are at the centre of the University community and everything we do. We value colleagues with drive, determination and a passion for what they do. We are a place where everyone is welcome and offer a range of policies and benefits designed to support you in building the right meaningful flexibility that works for you.

A career with us has a range of other benefits that can be tailored to your lifestyle:

Working within one of the world’s leading universities
Interesting work
Good salary/pay rates
Flexible/hybrid where the roles allow
This post is 0.6 FTE, (21 hours per week); and we are open to flexible working patterns. We are also open to considering requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular on-campus working.

As a valued member of our team, you can expect:

A competitive salary.
An exciting, positive, creative, challenging and rewarding place to work.
To be part of a diverse and vibrant international community.
Comprehensive Staff Benefits, including generous annual leave entitlement, a defined benefits pension scheme, a wide range of staff discounts, family-friendly initiatives, and flexible work options. Check out the full list on our staff benefits page (opens in a new tab) and use our reward calculator to discover the value of your pay and benefits.

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 a Stonewall Proud Employer, actively promoting LGBTQ+ equality.

We welcome applications from all qualified candidates.

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 (opens new browser tab)

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.

Key dates to note

The closing date for applications is 25 June 2026.

Unless stated otherwise the closing time for applications is 11:59pm UK time. If you are applying outside the UK the closing time on our adverts automatically adjusts to your browsers local time zone.
