Oregon State University Libraries and Press (OSULP) seeks applications for an Engineering Librarian. This is a full-time (1.0 FTE), 12-month, tenure-track Assistant Professor position. The successful candidate will draw on a record of self-motivated relationship building to work with OSU’s highly-regarded College of Engineering. These faculty and students pursue basic and applied research, while also leveraging strong industry relationships to provide relevant learning opportunities and product commercialization pathways.

The successful candidate will also bring their enthusiasm and experience for guiding and supporting students, faculty and staff who work with research data as they build learning opportunities and communities of practice around data tools and data literacy in STEM fields using in-person and electronic formats. This work presents a unique OSULP program building and shaping opportunity for the successful candidate. Possible collaboration and connection points exist with those on campus building out data programs and with established user groups in the biosciences. This work is anticipated to complement the existing library-based data management services program.

The successful applicant will join a very collaborative and highly engaged team of library faculty and staff. While we strive to provide clarity about the skills needed to be successful in the position, we recognize that we haven’t thought of everything and that applicants may bring unique skills. If that is you, please apply and share with us how your specific skill set might enhance the work we do to support the OSU community.
