Who the specialist will work with
 You will need to work collaboratively with the project team at The National Archives. The project will be led by the Service Owner for Digital Preservation, working with data scientists, digital archivists, information managers and a project manager.
What the specialist will work on
 The National Archives is responsible for providing advice to government departments on their selection of records for transfer to the archive (http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/information-management/legislation/public-records-act/public-records-system/). One of the biggest challenges for departments is the selection of born-digital records. The huge volumes of these records on shared drives and in EDRMS means that the manual methods used for the selection of paper records are not feasible. The researcher will survey the whole of the AI landscape to identify the AI tools and approaches that could be used to identify records suitable for the selection of born-digital records for transfer to The National Archives.
WORK SETUP
Address where the work will take place
 The AI for Selection Project team is based at The National Archives, Bessant Drive, Richmond, Surrey TW9 4DU.
Working arrangements
 Ideally co-located (for at least 3 days a week) so you can refine requirements with the team as you carry out the research. Normal working hours are 9am to 5pm, there is some flexibility available.
Security clearance
 None required, unless you co-locate at The National Archives. In this instance, baseline security clearance will be required.
