Alfred Brendel Curator of Music & Subject Librarian for Music

You will lead the Bodleian Libraries’ Music collections and services, with the post divided approximately two-thirds in Special Collections and one-third in Humanities Libraries. You will develop excellent and integrated services across both locations, manage and develop the Music Special Collections team, shape collection development and cataloguing, and take responsibility for relevant budgets and acquisitions.

You will provide expert support to students, researchers and the wider public, including reference and instruction services, research and information skills training, and interpretation of Oxford’s rich print, manuscript, sound and digital resources. You will advocate for the collections through exhibitions, displays and public engagement, contribute to fundraising and digitisation activity, work closely with colleagues, and represent the Libraries through relevant national and international professional bodies.

This is a permanent, full-time post, working 37.5 hours per week. The postholder will lead a team on-site, and will be responsible for special collections in the Library, so the possibility of remote working is not available for this post.
