I posted this earlier but spoke to several folks at the GeoScience
Information Society meeting in Denver last week who did not remember seeing
it.  Please pass it along to anyone who might the interested and qualified.

Thanks,

Position Announcement
Map Librarian
University Libraries
University of Colorado, Boulder

Map Librarian: This is a tenure-track faculty position reporting to the
Head of the Earth Sciences and Map Library. The Map Library is located in
the Jerry Crail Johnson Earth Sciences and Map Library in the Benson Earth
Sciences Building.  Duties include providing reference service for the map
collection and, to a lesser extent, the Earth Sciences Library; collection
development for map and cartographic material in all formats, including
digital data; assistance in the use of geographic information systems;
continuing development of the Map Library web page that provides access to
map-related Internet resources; and providing bibliographic instruction.
The position will supervise the cataloging of maps to provide bibliographic
access through the Libraries' online catalog.  The collection is currently
partially uncataloged. This position supervises two classified staff
members.  A significant part of this position involves research and
creative work and a commitment to service in keeping with the tenure
standards of the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Requirements: Master's degree from an ALA-accredited library school or
equivalent completed by July 2003, class work or experience with a map
collection, demonstrated experience with electronic information resources,
experience or class work related to geographical information systems (GIS),
excellent oral and written communication skills, potential for research,
and a strong commitment to public service.

Preferences:  Some of the following desirable qualifications can be
satisfied by class work as well as by experience: work experience in a
research-oriented library; supervisory experience; cataloging experience;
knowledge of map cataloging practices; web page development; working
knowledge of government publications; experience with digital spatial data;
and collection development experience.  A graduate or undergraduate degree
in geography, cartography or geology is preferred.  Two or more years of
experience in a college, university, or research-based map collection.

Appointment and Salary: The successful candidate with demonstrated
accomplishments in research and creative work will be appointed as a
full-time (12 month) Assistant Professor on the tenure track.  The
Libraries anticipates hiring at the assistant professor
level.  Applications at all levels may also be considered from those who
would strengthen the Libraries' diversity.  A successful candidate with
promise in research but lacking an established scholarly record will be
appointed as an Instructor (non-tenure track) for two years, with promotion
to the tenure track and the rank of Assistant Professor upon a successful
review.  Starting salary range will be $36,000 - 43,000, according to the
candidate's qualifications. Benefits include 22 working days vacation; 10
paid holidays; liberal sick leave; University group health care plans;
group life insurance; TIAA/CREF retirement/annuity; and support for
scholarly/professional activities.  Tenured librarians are eligible for
sabbatical leaves.

Application Deadline: To ensure full consideration, applications should be
received by December 1, 2002.  The search will remain open until the
position is filled.

Send letter of application specifically addressing qualifications for the
position; resume; and names, addresses, and telephone numbers of three
references to Scott Seaman, Associate Director for Administrative Services,
University Libraries, University of Colorado at Boulder, Boulder, CO
80309-0184.  The University of Colorado at Boulder is committed to
