In this new position, the incumbent will work in close collaboration with the Office of Research, colleagues within the Libraries, and other campus collaborators to develop and support services around measurement of research impact for the campus, with a focus on bibliometrics. The librarian will work with multiple stakeholders, including senior leadership, to establish and negotiate work priorities and deadlines based on institutional priorities.
