The Bodleian Libraries seek a curator to take responsibility for the care of its Greek collections, both the ancient papyri and the Byzantine and post-Byzantine manuscripts.
 
You will catalogue Greek manuscripts and papyri; respond to enquiries; teach Greek palaeography and support other classes; undertake research on the collections; assist with displays and public engagement; collaborate with digitization and other projects; and participate in all aspects of the administration of the collections.
 
You will have qualifications and wide-ranging expertise in the field of Greek manuscripts, and experience of cataloguing them; an aptitude for teaching and for communicating about the collections with a broad range of people; and the ability and willingness to align personal goals with the aims and priorities of the Library.
 
This is a permanent full-time post, working 37.5 hours per week, based at the Weston Library, the home of the Bodleian’s special collections.
