Interested? Here's how to apply.
To help us select the strongest students for the Gale Ambassador Library Support Program, we ask applicants to send us their CV and a short video (no more than 5 minutes) which includes the below:
- Introduce yourself: State your name, university, year group (in September 2023) and course.
- Explain: What would you say to students to explain the value of primary sources?
- Suggest: One idea to increase engagement with a Twitter channel (this can include ideas to share the channel more widely, and also in terms of the content shared on the channel), and one idea for an in-person promotional event you could run at your university to inform more students about Gale. Be as creative as you like!
- Feel free to mention any other reasons you’d be good for the role. (Do you have any experience with public speaking, writing marketing copy or using Social Media for promotion? It doesn't matter if not, but have a think what you can offer!)
Please name the files in the following format:
John.Smith.CV.docx and John.Smith.Video.mp4
Once you have your video and CV ready, complete the form below to apply for the Gale Ambassador Library Support Program!
You will need to upload your video and CV to WeTransfer. (You can use the free version). WeTransfer will generate a link (URL address) which enables us to download your video and CV. (You can upload more than one file at a time to WeTransfer, so you will only need to generate one link.) Paste the link into the form below.

To apply, you must be a current student (for a year from September 2023) at one of the following universities, and be studying an Arts, Humanities or Social Science subject.
Europe, Middle East and Africa:
Exeter, Lancaster, Portsmouth, Liverpool, Durham, Birmingham, Maynooth, Liverpool John Moores, Cambridge, Queen Mary London, Leiden, UNISA, Trinity College Dublin, Edinburgh, King's College London, University College London, University of the Free State

(All "University of" where unstated)
We also have ambassadors at other institutions not listed here (we're just not actively recruiting there at the moment).
Remember, the deadline is midnight 1 July 2023!
Do not use any special characters (e.g. &) when completing the form. Those used in a URL (such as : and /) are fine in your WeTransfer link.
