I am pleased to share that Helen Townsend has been appointed to the fixed term Research Assistant (UC150) role.

Helen is a UC graduate, with experience in digitising herbarium plant specimens held at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. The research assistant role reports to Canterbury University Press, with a dotted line to the Macmillan Brown Library. Helen will spend a lot of time in Macmillan Brown, sourcing images for the UC150 history and associated website.

Helen will start on 28 February. When you’re next over at MB, do make sure to say hello.
