In addition to providing basic collections and instructional support, the librarian serves as a resource for working with data sources common to Social Sciences research, such as IPUMS, ICPSR, and other statistical databases. Furthermore, the librarian collaborates with colleagues in the Library as well as Computing and Information Services to develop expertise and facilities to build capacity for the use of data and analytical methods across disciplines. Successful candidates will be well-versed in creating, interpreting, and manipulating statistical data using tools such as GIS, SPSS, Stata, and/or R.
