The NCSU Libraries has a well-earned reputation for creating adventurous
library spaces and innovative services that delight today's students and
researchers. The award-winning James B. Hunt Jr. Library, opened in 2013 on NC
State's Centennial Campus, offers faculty and students access to advanced
technologies such as large-scale visualization, simulated environments, 3D
imagery, and interactive computing that are enabling revolutionary ways to see
and use information. An iconic building that captures NC State's spirit of
innovation in education and research, the Hunt Library is recognized as one of
the world's most creative learning and collaborative spaces and a model for
"the library of the future". The D. H. Hill Library, serving the main campus,
combines the best of tradition and innovation, housing special collections and
a beautiful gallery alongside vibrant, experiential spaces such as the
Learning Commons, Technology Sandbox, Visualization Studio, and Makerspace. If
you are a person who would like to provide a new generation of library users
with everything they can imagine and more, consider applying for this
position.

rapid professional growth through assignment to one of the Libraries'
strategic initiatives, combined with experience and mentoring in a department.
