      UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN LIBRARY


      Associate University Librarian for Research

The University of Michigan Library seeks an entrepreneurial, 
collaborative, innovative, and service-oriented leader for the new 
position of Associate University Librarian (AUL) for Research.   
Reporting to the University Librarian, and collaborating with the other 
members of MLibrary's leadership, the AUL for Research will embody the 
library's mission to engage in all facets of the scholarly process, from 
beginning to end. By embracing the transformative role of information 
technology, the AUL for Research will forge exciting directions in a 
world where new and emerging epistemologies challenge us to exploit the 
interplay of learning, knowing, creating, and sharing.

At MLibrary, we recognize that the creation of services to enable the 
use and reuse of data is becoming increasingly essential to research; we 
are seeking a leader with the conceptual and technical knowledge to 
advance this development. The new AUL for Research has an unprecedented 
opportunity to promote the design and implementation of campus-wide 
services that will facilitate the collection, curation, management, and 
preservation of data in support of qualitative and quantitative research 
methods in the humanities and the arts, as well as engineering, 
sciences, and social sciences.

The Research area includes over 70 talented staff, most of them subject 
specialists who cover a vast range of disciplines, scholarly activities, 
and research formats.  The AUL for Research must build partnerships with 
academic departments and programs to address the entire range of 
research needs of faculty, graduate students, undergraduates, and staff; 
improve the climate for scholarly communication; effectively use 
instructional technologies; embrace new research resources while 
supporting traditional research methods; and encourage interdisciplinary 
research and collaboration across campus and beyond. The AUL for 
Research must be fully dedicated to public service, and to supporting 
the activities of our subject specialists and department liaisons.

We are looking for an academic leader who views the library as we do: as 
an integral part of a world-class research university.
