The Social Research Unit is looking for a Records Manager and Archivist to take senior responsibility in relation to our records management, physical and digital archives, legacy data and bio-samples management.
The Social Research Institute – formerly the Department of Social Science – in the UCL Institute of Education is one of the leading centres for social research in the UK. It is home to seven internationally renowned research units:
- Centre for Longitudinal Studies
- Centre for Time Use Research
- CLOSER
- EPPI-Centre
- Quantitative Social Science
- Social Science Research Unit
- Thomas Coram Research Unit
The Centre for Longitudinal Studies is an interdisciplinary research centre, which is funded by ESRC to scientifically lead and run four of Britain's internationally renowned cohort studies:
• 1958 National Child Development Study (NCDS)
• 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS70)
• Millennium Cohort Study (MCS)
• Next Steps (formerly the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England)
The Centre has also recently been funded to test the feasibility of establishing a new UK birth cohort study, the Early Life Cohort Feasibility Study (funded by ESRC), and is collaborating on two further new longitudinal studies, the Children of the 2020s (funded by DfE) and the Covid Social Mobility study (COSMO) (funded by UKRI).
We hold a wide range of information assets relating to the cohort studies managed in the Centre, and robust information and records management approaches are crucial for our work. CLS information assets include a wide and unique set of records related to our studies and dating back over 60 years. We are now looking for a Records Manager and Archivist to take senior responsibility in relation to our records management, physical and digital archives, legacy data and bio-samples management.
In this important role, you will lead CLS’ records management work, maintaining, developing and applying CLS’ records and information management procedures and acting as Information Asset Administrator (IAA). You will oversee the storage, management and transfer of all CLS biological samples. You will also manage and maintain CLS’ physical archives, and plan and direct an important move of the CLS physical archive from its current premises to a new UCL facility and you will lead a project to improve the CLS digital archive of scanned records. You will take an active role in strategically developing, supervising and documenting new legacy data research projects for CLS and will support academic staff in securing funding for these projects.
This post is available until 31st March 2025 and will require DBS clearance. The closing date is the 31st of July.
