Magdalen College is seeking a graduate for a one-year internship (6
September 2010 - 2 September 2011). This post offers an exceptional
opportunity for the imaginative pre-professional to gain experience in both
library and archives work.
Applicants should have a good degree and intentions of pursuing a career in
professional librarianship or archives work. The hours worked will be
divided between Libraries and Archives: The graduate trainee will gain a
wide variety of library experience, working in the main New Library, but
with opportunities to explore Magdalen’s rare-book collections and oversee
the Denning Law Library; Archives work includes cataloguing and answering
queries; learning conservation methods and setting up exhibitions will be
part of the internship. Training includes participation in Oxford
University’s SCONUL programme and may include formal short courses depending
on the trainee’s particular interests.
Further particulars, application and recruitment monitoring forms can be
found at: www.magd.ox.ac.uk or telephone 01865 276031. Please send
completed applications to Louise Stevens, HR Officer, Magdalen College,
