Library Assistant (Graduate Trainee)
Christ Church seeks to appoint a Library Assistant (Graduate Trainee) on a one-year fixed term contract. The role of the Library Assistant (Graduate Trainee) encompasses many facets of library work: front-line reader services; collection management and Special Collections.
This fixed-term post is an excellent opportunity to join a friendly college and gain experience working in a large Oxford college library. The role is intended to provide a time-limited period of training and development and for this reason carries with it no expectation of permanent employment at Christ Church.
In addition to training received in post, the Library Assistant (Graduate Trainee) will also participate in visits and events run by the Bodleian Libraries as part of the Bodleian Libraries Graduate Trainee scheme, which provides the necessary experience for application to a postgraduate course in librarianship or information management.
The Library Assistant will work regular shifts on the front-desk, working with both the University’s online library catalogue (SOLO) and the automated library management system (Alma), repair damaged books, and respond to reader queries in person, by phone and via email.
For more information, including how to apply, please see the attached Further Particulars.

Job description
Job Purpose
You will contribute to the project The legal foundations for a civic financial system (“Civic Finance”) working with Prof. Javier Solana (“Principal Investigator” or “PI”).
The overarching objective of Civic Finance is to develop a complexity-informed theory of law and finance that can underpin the legal foundations of a civic financial system; in particular, a financial system that refrains from enabling unsustainable levels of CO2 emissions. Civic Finance is funded by a European Research Council Starting Grant (Grant Agreement No.: 101165302).
The PI is looking for two Research Assistants to support the development of the theoretical framework that will underpin Civic Finance. More specifically, the two Research Assistants will support the review of relevant academic literature that explores how organisations make decisions; in particular, how financial institutions select their corporate clients, and how financial institutions make decisions regarding specific financial products and services to offer to those clients. Research Assistant 1 will focus, predominantly, on academic literature that explores how culture and social norms might influence those decisions, while Research Assistant 2 will focus, predominantly, on how economic factors might influence those decisions. In specific sections, the job description identifies different requirements for each of the two posts. Where no distinction is made between the two posts, the requirements apply to both posts. Applicants are requested to indicate in their cover letter which of the two posts they are applying to.
