Vacancy for Research Associate GLOW at Loughborough University
30 July 2025
Hybrid, Loughborough
Part-Time
We're looking for a postdoctoral research associate to join the GLOW team.
Much public good could be derived from the analysis of government records, particularly records in digital form. Yet, access to these data is extremely difficult. Archival emails and other born-digital records are rarely accessible to users due to reasons such as confidentiality, privacy, national security, copyright, technological constraints, and lack of organisation.
The GLOW project aims to connect government professionals with Computer Scientists, Digital Humanists, and professionals in the GLAM sector (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) in the UK and USA – to unlock government archives with AI.
The project is led by Professor Lise Jaillant, Professor of Digital Cultural Heritage. The researcher will work closely with the PI to deliver this project.
Your primary responsibilities will include conducting qualitative research such as data collection, analysis, and management; managing communications with project stakeholders; and contributing to the organisation and delivery of project events.
Key Requirements:
* You’ll have a PhD in social sciences or humanities (or near completion)
* You’ll bring expertise in qualitative data collection and analysis
* You’ll have experience authoring original work for academic journal papers
* You’ll be able to organise complex events involving multiple stakeholders
