    Position Title:

    Visiting Librarian-St. Mary's College

    Position Description:

    St. Mary’s College of Maryland, a public college in southern Maryland, is accepting applications for the one-year position of Visiting Teaching & Learning Librarian. This is a 12-month, full-time, non-tenure-track faculty position to begin August 1, 2022 at an annual salary of $57,000. The College seeks an enthusiastic and creative librarian to teach course-integrated information literacy classes in first-year seminars and in STEM disciplines (training in supporting STEM disciplines will be provided). The librarian will also provide research support to students and faculty, assist in the development of library collections, and serve as a backup at our public circulation desk. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to explore additional professional interests in this position in the areas of user experience research, web design, outreach and engagement, or any other library-related topics of their choosing. This is a great opportunity for a new or early career librarian interested in gaining experience as a liaison librarian in a small, supportive, undergraduate-focused liberal arts environment. This one-year appointment will prepare the librarian for continued successful employment in academic libraries.

    Required qualifications:

    Candidates must have completed an ALA-accredited master’s degree (or expect to complete their degree before the starting date of employment). The successful candidate must produce the necessary documentation to legally work in the U.S. upon hire. Employment will be contingent upon successful completion of a criminal background check and proof of COVID-19 vaccination, medical and religious exemptions will be considered.

    Preferred qualifications: The successful candidate will demonstrate an interest in information literacy education and teaching, either through professional experience, internships, or coursework; possess the ability to work collaboratively with colleagues; and be dedicated to positively engaging with undergraduate students.

    Non-sectarian since its founding, St. Mary's College of Maryland, a public Carnegie Baccalaureate, Arts and Sciences institution located in St. Mary's City, 70 miles southeast of Washington, D.C., has been designated as Maryland's public honors college. With selective admissions policies, academically talented students, and a rigorous curriculum, we offer a small college experience similar to that found at exceptional private colleges. The quality of life is enhanced by the recreational opportunities of the Chesapeake region and by our proximity to Washington, D.C. and Baltimore.

    St. Mary’s College (www.smcm.edu) embodies diversity and inclusion in its mission. We create an environment that recognizes the value of individual and group differences and we encourage inquiries from applicants who will contribute to our cultural and ethnic diversity.

    Application Process:

    Application materials must include a cover letter of interest, curriculum vitae, contact information for three references, and a statement of how the applicant’s employment at the College will contribute to a culture of inclusion and campus diversity. Applications must be submitted online at apply.interfolio.com/107650. Questions may be directed to Katherine Ryner at khryner@smcm.edu.

    Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. St. Mary’s College of Maryland is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer.
