Science Librarian – St. Lawrence University

St. Lawrence University seeks an innovative, creative and
service-oriented colleague as our next Science Librarian.  Reporting to
the Director of Libraries, the Science Librarian oversees the Launders
Science Library, supervises the Science Library staff, manages the
collections and is the primary liaison to students, faculty and staff in
the sciences.  Activities include outreach to science departments
regarding resources, services, and spaces, providing in-depth reference
and research consultation services and creating and presenting library
instruction in disciplinary research.

The successful candidate will work well in a collegial and team
environment and will possess strong communication, interpersonal and
teaching skills.  While the primary area of focus is in support of the

goals and procedures and serves as a resource to the campus on evolving
patterns of scholarly publishing, including open access initiatives and
the management of scientific data.

The University Libraries support physical and virtual presences, strive
to maintain a high level of resourcefulness, responsiveness, and
reliability with regard to the academic needs of students and faculty,
and proactively seek to engage with students and faculty on existing and
emerging technologies, programs, and initiatives.

Qualifications:

•       The successful candidate for this 12-month position must have an
ALA-accredited MLS degree or equivalent.
•       Demonstrated experience with or course work in using and supporting
e-science resources and library and information technologies (e.g.,
bioinformatics, GIS, data curation, institutional repositories, content
management systems) and knowledge of trends in scholarly communication
are required.
•       Undergraduate or advanced degree in the sciences or related research
experience is preferred.
•       One to two years of academic library experience is preferred.

The anticipated start date of this position is August 1.  Review of
applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is
filled.  Interested candidates should submit a cover letter and resume,
along with the names and contact information of three references to:
