The St. John’s University Libraries seek applications from innovative
candidates to act as its eScholarship Repository Librarian. Reporting to
the Dean of University Libraries, the eScholarship Repository Librarian
will support scholarly communication and data curation endeavors of
faculty, researchers, students, staff, and librarians working locally
and globally. The successful candidate will be responsible for
supporting library-led initiatives including the development and
management of an institutional repository, and development and
implementation of an electronic theses and dissertations (ETD) program. The eScholarship Repository Librarian will provide leadership in the
area of data curation on behalf of the Libraries and work with faculty
researchers to identify, recruit, ingest and deposit data in the
library’s digital repository. The successful candidate will play a
significant role in outreach to the research community to deposit data
in the digital repository and in the creation of training programs, help
guides and web resources to support this effort. The eScholarship
Repository Librarian will also be responsible for providing leadership
in areas related to digital publishing, copyright, intellectual
property, and other emerging trends in digital scholarship. The
individual will monitor trends and developments in scholarly
communication and act as a liaison to national efforts in the area (such
as SPARC and HathiTrust). The incumbent will also develop outreach and
educational programs that promote scholarly communication in furtherance
of both the University and Libraries mission. This tenure track faculty
position requires self-motivated and continual learning, professional
development, and application of additional expertise in these and
related areas.
