The British Library holds one of the most important collections of

Hellenic culture outside Greece and Cyprus. As a member of the South East

European area as required. You will have experience of relevant work in a
research library or similar institution and, ideally, a library
qualification or post-graduate degree in a discipline relevant for the
role, such as Modern Greek, Literature, History or Politics.
