Scientific Department Information Specialist, THE NATIONAL GALLERY 

The National Gallery is seeking a pro-active and knowledgeable individual to act as a key liaison between the Scientific Department and the Gallery's Digital Dossier Programme (DDP). The DDP, an ambitious research infrastructure and knowledge-enabling change programme, is a key element of the 'Research for Public Benefit' pillar of the National Gallery's 2021-26 Strategic Plan and aims to format, organise and publish the rich collection information held by the National Gallery within a user-friendly searchable platform.

This role is part of the Programme's initial phase, comprising a range of overlapping digital initiatives across the Gallery. The post-holder will interact with many of these initiatives but will focus on technical and informatics issues relating to the organisation, preparation and exploitation of Scientific digital resources. Direct line management will be via one of the National Gallery Principal Scientists, who in turn reports to the Head of the Scientific department. There would also be a dotted line reporting to the DDP project manager.

This role is one of two DDP posts embedded within the Scientific Department. It will concentrate on the technical informatics aspects of the description, organisation and management of digital assets within the Department and the technical aspects of developing and testing new more efficient digital documentation procedures (the other role is complementary in that is more focussed on the heritage science content of the scientific documentation).
