Dear members,
The following opportunity at UCL may be of interest.

Senior Postdoctoral Research Fellow with Digital Database/Map Design Skills for Historical Research
The Senior Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Sr PRF) will be responsible for designing and creating, in collaboration with the PI and the project’s Research Software Engineer (RSE), the database that will support the project’s digital outputs. They will also carry
out some archival research and work with the project team to populate the database and produce the outputs from the database and the project more generally. The successful candidate will already have postdoctoral experience of working with digital mapping
and relational databases. Working closely with the RSE and PI, the Sr PRF will also contribute to the design of the project website. This is a full-time, fixed-term appointment for 30 months. The role will be appointed at spine point 38 of the UCL non-clinical
Grade 8 salary scale - currently £52,487 per annum including London weighting. This role meets the eligibility requirements for a skilled worker certificate of sponsorship under UK Visas and Immigration legislation. Therefore, UCL welcomes applications from
international applicants who require a visa.
The successful candidate will have a PhD in historical geography, early modern history, architectural history, digital humanities, urban history, heritage, or a related field. They will have experience of working with relational databases and interactive digital
mapping (GIS, etc.) and a demonstrable understanding of current debates in early modern transnational history and material culture, urban heritage and/or historical geography. They will also have the ability to translate well from at least one of the main
project languages (Italian, Spanish, German, Dutch) into English. With documents in several different languages, all team members will be required to contribute to the linguistic needs of the project in some way. If you cannot meet this specification, please
describe how else you might contribute to the summarising and translation of the archival documents into English. In addition, they will have the ability to carry out archival and/or picture and map research and travel to do so, if requested. Experience of
data visualisation and mapping for the web, e.g., with Javascript libraries like Leaflet, D3, etc., is a bonus.
