The successful applicant will be expected to engage actively in the academic life of the Institute and of the Durham Priory Library Recreated Project, which is a collaboration between Durham University and Durham Cathedral. The project is digitizing the 480 volumes of manuscripts and several dozen printed books belonging to the pre-reformation Cathedral Library and dating from the seventh century AD onwards. They will be attached to one of the academic programme’s five core themes and will work under the direct supervision of the academic lead responsible for that particular theme.
