Early Career Librarian Fellow - Archivist for Digital Collections and Research
Albert S. Cook Library seeks an innovative individual to serve as the Archivist for Digital Collections and Research, with our Early Career Librarian Fellows program. Our library is committed to recruiting and retaining a diverse library staff by considering applicants from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. You can read the library’s diversity statement here: https://libraries.towson.edu/about/inclusion-diversity-equity-accessibility. Towson University places a high priority on the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Candidates will be expected to explain how they have been and could be involved in advancing this campus goal. This fellowship program is designed to provide an early-career librarian from an underrepresented group, who has either completed their master’s in library science (MLS or MLIS) in the last 18 months or will complete their master’s in library science within 12 months of hire. This is a permanent position; after the two-year fellowship, the librarian will continue in their role. There is an opportunity for librarian fellows to rotate across departments if they have the interest to do so. This is an opportunity for rapid professional growth and we encourage new perspectives and fresh ideas. As this is an early career opportunity, we encourage applicants with interest in the designated areas to apply, whether or not they have work experience or coursework in these areas. The first two years of the program will be dedicated to researching a new program or initiative, with the goal of creating a plan to launch the program at the conclusion of the two years within Albert S. Cook Library.
