You will be part of the Research Repository team and a key element of the role will be to edit and maintain accurate metadata for deposits, working with appropriate international standards to ensure interoperability of data. You will also support researchers; problem-solving and providing timely advice and support both in person and through a range of media.

Knowledge of the electronic publishing environment is highly desirable.
