      Casual project position at the University of Melbourne Archives
      The University of Melbourne Archives is looking for an early career archivist with a particular interest in digital archiving to join us on a casual basis for the rest of 2025. We have a number of pilot projects investigating the use of AI in the archives to support accessibility (transcription of handwriting) and efficiency (developing models for metadata creation). Whilst undertaking these pilots we will be examining questions of ethics and privacy.

Kind regards
