  Job Description
Join the National Gallery in creating an innovative digital resource that will transform access to multidisciplinary research on paintings by Sir Joshua Reynolds, one of Britain’s most influential 18th-century painters. Using the open-source ResearchSpace platform, the resource will bring together information and data scattered across institutions and formats from across the heritage science, conservation and art-historical domains.

As Project Specialist, you will collaborate with experts across institutions to gather, organise, prepare and enrich data, contributing also to digital platform design and configuration. You will engage with future users through workshops and outreach, ensuring the resource meets diverse professional needs while documenting workflows and best practices for future initiatives.

Please note: This role does not involve practical conservation but focuses on data organization, digital solutions, and user engagement. It offers valuable experience for those in conservation or heritage science.

This is one of two Project Specialist roles being recruited concurrently – one full time and one part time. This is the part time, fixed-term position for up to 12 months, working 2.5 days per week.

This role requires some on-site working, with flexibility.
