Job Opportunity: University Core Librarian at Saint Louis University

  • 1.  Job Opportunity: University Core Librarian at Saint Louis University

    Posted Jul 19, 2022 01:11 PM

    Hi Everyone!

    I'm chairing this search and will be in the same department as the successful candidate. Please don't be deterred by the low salary listing! We are required to list our minimum librarian salary, but since this job requires some experience, the successful candidate will have plenty of room to negotiate and should be offered a higher salary right off the bat. This is a bi-state region and we have library employees living in both Missouri and Illinois!

    Feel free to reach out me with questions about the position, SLU, or living in the St. Louis area!

    Rebecca

The University Core Librarian will provide leadership in launching, administering, enhancing, and assessing SLU Libraries' information literacy program for first-year students that is integrated into the Core.

This full-time faculty position will join a creative team of faculty librarians in Research & Instruction Services.  


    Key information:

    • Review of applications will begin August 12, 2022, and will continue until the position is filled. Desired start date in Fall 2022.
