The Darwin Correspondence Project (http://www.darwinproject.ac.uk/) is a small externally-funded team of researchers and editors, based in Cambridge University Library, which is making available complete transcripts of all known letters written by or to the naturalist Charles Darwin (1809–82).

Working with the Project editors, and with a web development team at the University’s Centre for Applied Research in Educational Technologies, the postholder will be responsible for researching, creating, delivering and publicising research resources using Darwin’s correspondence, relevant to studies of evolutionary approaches to human nature, and in particular to existing university courses in the UK and around the world. They will be responsible for writing up the results of their research in a number of formats, for both web and print delivery, including where appropriate, in a format consistent with the editing style of the print edition of The Correspondence of Charles Darwin. The role-holder will also assist the Project’s Education and Outreach Officer by identifying material relevant to the creation of educational resources for use in secondary schools.
