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 Library. The map library is located in the Jerry
Crail Johnson Earth Sciences 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; assistance in the use of
geographic information systems; and bibliographic instruction. Developing
and managing a plan to provide bibliographic access through the Libraries'
online catalog to a collection that is currently largely uncataloged will
be a primary focus of this position. This position supervises one
classified staff member. 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,
education or experience at the college or university level with a map
collection, demonstrated experience with computers and electronic
information resources, excellent oral and written communications skills,
potential for research, and a strong commitment to public service.
Preferences: Some of the following desirable qualifications can also be
satisfied by class work, as well as experience, where appropriate: work
experience in a research-oriented library; experience with a map library;
supervisory experience; cataloging experience; knowledge of map cataloging
practices; experience with geographic information systems (GIS); working
knowledge of government publications; expertise in using Internet
resources, especially for digital spatial data; and collection development
experience. A graduate or undergraduate degree in geography, cartography
or geology is preferred.
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
Department anticipates hiring at the assistant professor level.
Applications at all levels may also be considered from those who would
strengthen the Department's 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 $31,500 - 34,750. 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 October 30, 1998. 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
diversity and equality in education and employment.
