The School of Media, Film and Music in collaboration with the Sussex Humanities Lab (SHL) wish to appoint to a fixed term Research Fellow to support a major AHRC funded research project: BBC Connected Histories.  The project will create a digital oral history archive reflecting the inside story of the Corporation.  Funded for five years and led by Professor David Hendy, BBC Connected Histories will create a fully searchable resource, incorporating extensive tagging and Linked Open Data, from interviews with staff held in the BBC’s oral history collection, dating from the early 1970s onwards, and reflecting the experience of employees going back to the founding of the Corporation in 1922. 
 
For an informal discussion of the post, please contact David Hendy, Professor of Media and Cultural History (D.J.Hendy at sussex.ac.uk).
