This is an exciting time for research at VT with transdisciplinary
initiatives taking shape towards the Beyond Boundaries vision. The
successful candidate will have the opportunity to shape parts of this

tracking, and communicating the impact of research, scholarly, educational,
and creative works in increasingly open environments. This includes the use
of citation metrics, altmetrics, and qualitative methods. Reporting to the
Associate Director of Research Collaboration and Engagement (RCE), this
position will work with library colleagues and university partner areas
(e.g. Office of the Provost, Office of Research and Innovation) to develop
and provide services related to the impact of works within and across
disciplinary areas. This position investigates and provides specialized
support for emerging applications of impact data. Participation in cross
library initiatives, such as related systems integration, digital literacy
programming, and training related to online identity management are part of
this position as well. This position will be liaison librarian to two or
more areas that match the successful candidate's background and interests.
In collaboration with colleagues, this position supports consistent
services across VT locations, including online.
