Life Sciences Librarian, New York University, New York City, NY

Posted January 14, 2025

Description

The New York University (NYU) Division of Libraries seeks a Life Sciences Librarian to serve as liaison to programs in Biology, Neural Science, and Environmental Studies, encompassing subjects including ecology, cognition, and molecular and computational biology. The Life Sciences Librarian will develop and curate collections for the programs they liaise with; establish strong relationships with undergraduate through doctoral level students and faculty; provide in-depth information services to students, both in-person and online; and connect our communities to the services and information seeking tools that meet their research, teaching, and learning needs.

The Life Sciences Librarian is a tenure-track faculty position based at Bobst Library and is a member of the Science Research Services (SRS) department in the Research & Research Services unit of NYU Libraries. SRS seeks to build and sustain collections and services broadly applicable to scientific communities at NYU, including those in support of scientific openness, social impact, and scientific communication; research collaboration workflows (including transdisciplinary, translational, and team science); data privacy, ethics, and consent; and community-led and Indigenous contribution to the scientific record. The successful candidate will work with the other members of SRS to sustain and grow these services through curiosity and engagement with trends in STEM research and policy.

The successful candidate will work collaboratively with other librarians across NYU, including the NYU Health Sciences Library, the Bern Dibner Library at the Tandon School of Engineering, the NYU Abu Dhabi Library, and the NYU Shanghai Library, as well as with colleagues across the Division of Libraries to develop, deliver, and assess high-quality research support services. Faculty librarians are encouraged to contribute to university-wide initiatives and become involved in professional organizations related to librarianship or STEM.
