Short-Term Research Assistant Position

Manchester Medical Collection

Manchester University Library

We have funding for 2-3 MONTHS work on the Manchester Medical collection in the University Library, for sorting and cataloguing papers, and for bringing the archive up to date by collecting papers ( and interviews) from retired doctors and academics. The work could be done part-time, but should start this summer. The post would suit someone with graduate training in history of medicine or a related area, and an interest in oral history.

If you are interested in being part of this programme, please send a letter and a full cv, plus the names of three referees ( and any samples of work), as soon as convenient, to John Pickstone at the address below.
