Research Librarian, Safety Research & Strategies, Inc.

Small, nationally renowned vehicle and consumer product safety research firm currently has an opening for a research librarian. This is a great opportunity for someone with an MLS or MLIS and experience in a library or information center, preferably in a corporate or other special library setting. The successful candidate is able to research, acquire, organize, and catalog in-house and outside library resources of a variety of formats. 

 

A research librarian is expected to locate, organize, and summarize documents in written reports and present his or her findings to the project manager. Strong writing skills are required. The candidate must also have a strong background in Internet search strategies, technical and medical databases, and other publications. Government and legal research skills are preferred.

 

This position does not require technical understanding of the subject material; however, it does require good reading comprehension skills and the ability to succinctly communicate information. The research librarian must be flexible and have the ability to work and learn independently, manage deadlines, and coordinate with others on projects. The successful candidate will be comfortable working with librarians at other institutions as well as vendors of various materials we purchase for our collection. Strong computer skills, including Microsoft Windows and Office experience, are a must. In addition, SRS is a small business, and all staff at times performs additional tasks that include traditional office work, such as answering phones and formatting documents.

We provide a stimulating, fast paced work environment, two weeks vacation and one bonus week over the December holidays. Salary is commensurate with experience and skills.
