National Museums NI is a leading cultural institution and is responsible for ensuring that its significant collection is developed, cared for and accessible to the widest possible audience. Almost one million people enjoy our four museums each year, and through loans, research, community activity and digital programmes we engage a much wider audience than those who physically visit our museums.

The Centre for Environmental Data and Recording (CEDaR) is a partnership between the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA), National Museums NI and the environmental recording community. CEDaR functions as the Local Records Centre for Northern Ireland and collects, collates, manages and disseminates environmental data.

The overall aim of the partnership is to further develop an effective, efficient, flexible and scalable solution for delivery of environmental data and recording activity (increasing interpretation of that data or information) in support of a growing range of legislative and international drivers in Northern Ireland.

The aim of CEDaR is: To collect, collate, manage and make widely available robust and accurate spatial data sets to further environmental research and understanding and fulfil statutory obligations.

The post holder, building on CEDaR's established role in environmental data capture, collation and mobilisation, will champion as part of a growing team the innovation and enhanced delivery necessary to mainstream the use, understanding and impact of data for policy, operational and legislative delivery and reporting.

Working with others across relevant sectors, e.g., government and non-government organisations and citizens, etc. The role will result in streamlining and enhanced visibility as to how marine biological data is captured, collated, verified, interpreted and shared.
