We are delighted to report that we are hiring for two library faculty positions at the Thurgood Marshall Law Library at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. The Executive Director of Data & Educational Technologies (a new position reporting to the Associate Dean for Library & Technology, Kristina Alayan) and the Associate Director of Instruction, Research & Reference (reporting to the Executive Director of the Library, Liz Graham). Please share this with your networks and anyone who may be interested. Any questions can be sent directly to Kristina Alayan (kal...@law.umaryland.edu).
The University of Maryland Baltimore has been consistently ranked as one of America’s Best Employers (Forbes Magazine)! The law school campus is located in the heart of historic downtown Baltimore, steps away from a daily rotation of food trucks, seasonal farmers’ market, one of the oldest indoor markets in the country (Lexington Market), Camden Yards, and the Inner Harbor. The university’s shuttle provides easy access to other parts of the city. Baltimore has a rich history as a major transportation hub with the intersection of its seaport and the oldest railroad in the United States (Baltimore & Ohio). The economy has since shifted from industry and trade to knowledge and service. As a thriving intellectual hub, it is home to numerous academic campuses and libraries. With easy access to mountains and beaches, a quick drive or train ride to Philadelphia, New York, DC, and multiple airports, Charm City lives large without the price tag.
The Thurgood Marshall Law Library is committed to innovation from playing an instrumental role in the robust, required legal research instruction program to the digitization of unique civil rights collections. We welcome applicants who are interested in building on this foundation and helping to lead forward-thinking initiatives that align with the university’s core values: respect and integrity; well-being and sustainability; equity and justice; and innovation and discovery.
Salary range can be found in the individual postings. Both positions include a generous benefits package that includes 22 vacation days (up to 480 hours rollover annually), 14 floating and fixed holidays (use or lose each year), 15 sick days (unlimited rollover); comprehensive health insurance and retirement options (UMB contributes 7.25%); a Live Near Your Work program; and tuition remission for employees and their dependents at any of the University System of Maryland schools.
