Archive and Alumni
With a wealth of history and achievements for pioneering research in molecular biology, the LMB has created an archive to not only chart and preserve the history of the LMB, but also to record the present. The archive service provides a diverse collection of resources and information and is the first port of call for enquiries about the LMB.
The collection is continually developing and expanding. If you have any material that would be of interest to the collection, and would like to donate this, either in its original state or as copies, please contact the archive.
The LMB archive is managed by Annette Faux, assisted by Teresa Wallman. For all enquiries and information please contact us at archive@mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk.
LMB Archive Summer Studentship
We are seeking a summer student to join the Archive of the Nobel Prize winning MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) in 2019. With a wealth of history and achievements for pioneering research in molecular biology, the LMB has created an archive to not only chart and preserve the history of the LMB, but also to record the present. The archive service holds a diverse collection of resources and information, including books, recordings, images, newspaper articles, models and correspondence, and is the first port of call for enquiries about the history of the LMB.
The collection is continually developing and expanding and to help with a number of projects we are looking for a summer student, who could work for 2 to 3 months during the 2019 summer vacation period. The post would ideally suit someone who is studying for a degree in Information and Library Services, Archives and Records Management, or the History and Philosophy of Science. The main areas of work will include updating the past members list, scanning and cataloguing newspaper articles and sorting other material. There will be opportunity for the student to explore other resources and aspects of the Archive.
The work involves using database software, internet searching and scanning material. Good computer skills will be an advantage, although full training will be given. Attention to detail, accuracy of work and good organisational skills are important attributes required for the work.
A competitive salary will be paid for the period of the studentship.
Closing date for applications: 1 March 2019
To apply, please send your CV and cover letter to amf@mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk
