Great opportunity for recent graduates!
Lilly Library at Wabash College seeks an innovative Digital Archives Librarian. Reporting to the Library Director, the successful candidate will create and manage the institutional repository and will curate born-digital and electronic collections at Wabash College. One significant project will be producing a comprehensive digital database documenting Black cultural sites in Indiana. The Digital Archives Librarian will collaborate with faculty, students, and community stakeholders to promote its growth and utilization. The Digital Archives Librarian will also team with the faculty to integrate this and other digital collections more fully into the Wabash College curriculum.
Wabash College has begun a strategic transformation to advance the success of its first-generation students, students of color, and students from low-income families. To support this work, the Lilly Endowment Inc. awarded Wabash a five-year Charting the Future grant titled “Restoring Hope, Restoring Trust.” Using funds from this grant, Wabash supports an array of programs, partnerships, and strategies ranging from cultural and artistic programming to community engagement to research support for faculty, staff, and students interested in engaging our archival collections, including those on Black contributions to the State of Indiana.
The Digital Archives Librarian is a full-time, 12-month position supported for four years by grant funding. Librarians are part of the teaching community at Wabash-providing both information literacy instruction as well as occasional teaching in the classroom. Potential associated faculty status, rank, and salary are dependent upon qualifications and experience. Strong applicants will have an appreciation for the broad intellectual community of a liberal arts college, a commitment to excellence in undergraduate mentoring and teaching, and enthusiasm for developing close relationships with students, faculty, and staff to support teaching, learning and research at Wabash College. Candidates with a commitment to working with diverse students are especially invited to apply.
