Working under the supervision of the Assistant Keeper in Medieval and Modern

requires the postholder to work 18.75 hours per week.





**About You**



You will have a degree in history, archaeology, or related subjects, and have
some experience in numismatics, and in using web-based applications such as

You will be diligent and diplomatic and hard working.

scheme, staff discount in the Ashmolean Museum café and free access to
colleges and Botanic Gardens with staff card.
