The post is split over two different locations with two days at the Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience (PDN) Library on the Downing Side and one day at the West Hub Library.

The position is part-time and expected working days are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. However, we are open to discuss alternative days if flexibility is required.
