Research, Instruction & Outreach Librarian - Trinity College
Full Time. Hours Per Week: 40. Weeks Per Year: 52. Posting Number: S00624.
Trinity College’s Information Services invites applications for the position of research, instruction, and outreach librarian. Trinity College offers the best of several worlds: a traditional New England small liberal arts college set in downtown Hartford, a college that combines a strong commitment to community learning with equally strong study away ties. It is one of the few small liberal arts colleges that can truly claim to be global and urban in focus.
Information Services at Trinity College merged about four years ago, and the research, instruction, and outreach librarian will join the Research, Instruction, Technology group, a brand-new group combining instructional technologists, research librarians, digital scholarship staff, the learning spaces manager, and a director of academic video. Within this innovative group, the research, instruction, and outreach librarian will teach regularly in our program of course-integrated research instruction, build relationships with faculty, students, and staff to support their research and teaching; serve as subject liaison for select departments; and provide general research help. This position is intended as an entry-level or early-career opportunity. Feel free to contact Jason B. Jones (jason.jones@trincoll.edu) with any questions.
Responsibilities: Create disciplinary-specific research instruction for classes, including first-year seminars. Partner with other groups in the library, particularly the Watkinson Library, to develop instruction around primary sources and archives. Incorporate emerging information technologies and new uses of resources. Actively participates in outreach activities, committees, and work groups of the library. Take appropriate actions to support a diverse workforce and participates in the college’s efforts to create a respectful, inclusive, and welcoming work environment.
Required Qualifications: A Master’s degree or significant coursework toward a PhD. A history of classroom teaching or, in the absence of such history, evidence of a commitment to undergraduate education. Experience in an academic library. Strong academic background and desire to engage with the vibrant intellectual community at a liberal arts college. Commitment to and demonstrated knowledge of diversity, inclusion, and equity issues as related to research instruction, collection development, and user-centered public service. Excellent oral and written communication skills and the ability to advocate for the library to a variety of constituents. Evidence of working closely with colleagues, undergraduates, faculty, staff, and college administrators.
Preferred Qualifications: A graduate degree from a program accredited by the ALA and/or in a social sciences discipline or related field. While the exact disciplinary responsibilities of the position will be determined in consultation with the successful applicant, we would particularly invite candidates with interest/experience in the social sciences. We would also welcome candidates with expertise in any of the following: data curation, management, or visualization; digital humanities; emerging technology; open educational resources; or some other area where the liberal arts and technology intersect.
Special Instructions to Applicants: Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience. Review of applications will begin mid-April and continue until position is filled.
