Eugene Job Listings
The University of Pennsylvania Libraries is seeking a dynamic, service-oriented individual to join its Science Libraries team in this two-year, entry level position with a target start date of September 1, 2013. Reporting to the Associate Director, Biomedical Library, the Eugene Garfield Residency will provide a new professional the opportunity to develop as a Science Librarian at a premiere research institution in a supportive environment. The broadest goal of the Residency in Science Librarianship is to encourage the growth and development of underrepresented groups in academic research libraries. The Residency will involve a variety of substantive responsibilities and learning opportunities culminating in a capstone project.
Based in the Biomedical Library, this position will be actively engaged across all six Science Libraries in research and instruction activities, collection development and liaison responsibilities, and library initiatives in emerging areas such as biomedical informatics, collaborative research networks, team science, and research data management.
Working closely with colleagues, this position will include collection development and liaison duties based on the needs of the Science Libraries and the interests of the Resident. This will provide the opportunity to interact and respond to the needs of a research, teaching, and clinical community. Collection responsibilities will provide experience in resource selection, budget allocation, and management. The Resident’s liaison and outreach role may involve faculty sponsored research projects, systematic reviews of the literature, scholarly output analysis, and guideline development for funder compliance on publication deposit and data management.
The Resident will be encouraged to explore collaborative projects with other departments in the Penn Libraries. Potential departments to collaborate with include, but are not limited to Information Technologies & Digital Development, Information Processing Center, and the Weigle Information Commons. Projects and assignments will be designed with the professional interests of the Resident and the needs of the Science Libraries in mind.
The Resident will be supported in professional development activities including conference attendance and training opportunities. As part of their overall professional development, the Resident will conceive and plan a capstone project with their supervisor to be completed during the second year of the program. This project will provide the Resident with a concrete and demonstrable example of their capabilities as a Science Librarian.
Successful candidates will have a Master’s Degree from an ALA-accredited information and library science program or equivalent earned by August 2013 or within the past 2 years is required. Interest in science librarianship, the ability to work successfully in a team environment, excellent written and oral communication skills, general knowledge of information literacy and instruction practices, experience with relevant print and electronic references sources, willingness to learn and a desire for professional growth required.
An academic background in science or related experience in an academic science library, experience with course management software and web design software, knowledge of current trends and practices in scientific scholarly communication preferred. First consideration will be given to applications received by January 31, 2013.
