EAP Image Processing Officer

The British Library is seeking to recruit an Image Processing Officer to join the Endangered Archives Programme (EAP). EAP provides funding for international projects to record and digitise endangered collections across the world. The successful applicant will support the processing and ingest of digital images supplied by EAP projects.
The role involves working independently, with support from colleagues, to manage corrupt images from early projects and resolve issues in the upload of images to cloud storage for more recent projects. This is to ensure all digitised content is processed, preserved, and made accessible, which requires strong problem-solving skills and collaboration with stakeholders.

This post is for one year with the potential for extension dependent on funding.
