Baylor University Data Science Librarian (Assistant or Associate Librarian, Non-tenure Track)

  • 1.  Baylor University Data Science Librarian (Assistant or Associate Librarian, Non-tenure Track)

    Posted Mar 09, 2022 05:46 PM
    Come work with me in Waco where everything is within a 15 minute drive (unless you want to go to Dallas or Austin which are ~1.5 hours away).  We just got R1 status (and are investing in keeping the status) and have great benefits (like 10.8% of your salary towards retirement, with no match required).  We're family friendly (little kids eat free at the dining hall and the entire family has access to the gym and marina during family hours) and have tuition remission (for kids, spouses, and you if you want to add another master's).

    We currently have 5 job openings with maybe one or more two opening soon if you're not interested in this job, but this particular job will work more closely with me.  I'm hoping that this librarian will be able to help with meta-analyses.  Also a MLS is not required for job so feel free to forward to any grad students you work with in data science/analytics, stats, MIS, applied social science, etc.

    Let me know if you have any questions about working at Baylor (or about being a librarian without a MLS)

    Thanks,

    --Christina
