Congratulations on your new position!!

This opening sounds very interesting and a little tempting for a certain disgruntled UVa Librarian.

**With the usual acknowledgment of cross-posting annoyances**

James Madison University (JMU) Libraries invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track Science and Mathematics Librarian. The JMU Libraries are part of the Libraries and Educational Technologies (LET) Division, which includes two main libraries, several branch libraries, and the Center for Instructional Technology. LET is established as a campus leader in information literacy instruction, research support, curricular and special collections, and educational technology integration. This position is part of a period of exciting organizational change, including new administration and structure, which is designed to build on these strengths while supporting a collaborative and innovative culture.

Liaison librarians at JMU work within a collaborative, team-oriented structure to:

- Support research and information literacy by serving as liaisons to faculty, students, staff and academic departments. This position is the liaison to JMU's College of Science and Mathematics (CSM), which includes the biology, chemistry and biochemistry, geology and environmental science, mathematics and statistics, and physics and astronomy departments.
- Provide a broad range of liaison services including outreach, information literacy instruction and collection management.
- Provide information services that promote student success and support faculty research, including general and specialized reference services, consultation services and innovative information delivery services.
- Assist in accreditation, program review and other official assessment processes.
- Contribute to the publication and presentation of relevant research at the national, state, university or departmental level.
- Demonstrate leadership and professional contributions in relevant service activities at the national, state, university or departmental level.

This position is, in fact, my position, but I’m not really going anywhere. I’m transitioning to a scholarly communication and data services coordinator role at JMU, so the successful applicant will have a smooth transition to the position :)

Happy to answer any questions,

Yasmeen
