Two Resident Librarian Positions - University of Illinois Urbana Champaign

  • 1.  Two Resident Librarian Positions - University of Illinois Urbana Champaign

    Posted 4 hours ago

    Dear colleagues,

    The  University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is hiring two visiting librarians as a part of their residency program (https://www.library.illinois.edu/geninfo/residents/).  These are 3-year Visiting Assistant Professor positions, where residents will receive professional experience and mentoring in academic librarianship.  It will be a fantastic opportunity for early-career librarians who are interested in Open Educational Resources and Scholarly Communication or Music & Performing Arts Special Collections in a university setting.   

    UIUC is committed to inclusivity in their search and hiring process (https://oae.illinois.edu/wp-content/uploads/Best-Practices-for-an-Inclusive-Search-Process.pdf).  The hiring committee is glad to consider students who will be graduating in May 2026. The position closing dates are Dec. 5 and Dec. 12, 2025, respectively.

    Please contact Victor Jones, vjones7@illinois.edu, with any questions regarding the positions.

    Best wishes,

    Maya Bergamasco
    Resident Librarian, Harvard Libraries 2019-2021
