Description

Washington and Lee University Library invites applications from collaborative, user-focused, and inclusive early career librarians to join the Digital Information, Management, and Education Team (DIME) as the new Open Scholarship and Data Resident Librarian.

The library launched a residency program within the ACRL Diversity Alliance framework in 2023, hiring two residents on the Research Services Team. This is a three-year appointment with the possibility of continuation as a traditional Assistant Professor upon completion. The residency aims to develop residents' skills in a small liberal arts college library setting and to diversify and enrich the profession.

Reporting to the Head of DIME, the Open Scholarship and Data Resident Librarian will facilitate digital scholarship at W&L, supporting data discovery and management, scholarly communication, open educational resources, and open data. Responsibilities include outreach, instruction, and consultation to support faculty, students, and staff in creating open scholarship and visualizing data.

The DIME team leads digital scholarship initiatives, creating and managing digital collections, digital preservation, and exploring new scholarly forms through digital tools. The goal is to empower the university community to use digital information thoughtfully and fluently through inclusive pedagogy and sustainable infrastructure.

The successful candidate will demonstrate a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. This position is a non-tenure track faculty role at the Assistant Professor rank, beginning on or after July 1, 2025.

Postings are active for 60 days and include promotion on CLIR and DLF social media platforms. We do not post unpaid positions or internships and require a minimum salary of $65,000, supporting fair employment practices.
