The librarian will also develop an understanding of the data needs of various science colleges and departments, including but not limited to chemistry and CMSE, and will work with data librarians to meet the data management, curation and visualization needs of these populations. This librarian will also collaborate with other science librarians in providing library instruction to general and interdisciplinary science students. The successful candidate must be broadly focused, adventurous and willing to expand their range of liaison responsibilities as well as participate approximately quarter-time in a secondary assignment based on the needs of the library and candidate interests. Some evening and weekend hours may be required.
