The Digital Humanities Librarian will contribute to and provide leadership for

scholarship support on campus, primarily in the College of Arts and Sciences.
Working with arts, humanities, and social sciences scholars, faculty, and

integration of digital approaches to research, teaching, and learning. The
librarian will engage deeply with CUL's Digital Humanities Collaborative,
staff in Digital Scholarship and Preservation Services, scholars around

emerging areas of interest. The librarian will have responsibility for
providing user-centered services in support of teaching, research, and
scholarship. The librarian will participate in RLS's instruction and workshop
program, leading efforts to incorporate digital pedagogies and resources into
the program. The librarian may serve as a liaison to an
appropriate discipline, providing research consultations, instruction
sessions, and other services, and will approach the delivery of services with
creativity and innovation.

  
The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate a broad understanding of
scholarship in the digital environment, and have experience with one or more
digital humanities/social sciences methodologies, e.g., text analysis, mining,
and/or scholarly encoding, data visualization, social network analysis, and/or
digital archives. The candidate will also have experience teaching and/or
collaborating with faculty members in the design of courses and curricula
employing digital methodologies and engaging in research that extends
scholarship into the digital space. The candidate will have a strong grounding
in library programs and services, especially those that support teaching and
scholarship in the digital environment. The Digital Humanities Librarian will
have a history of creating strong collaborative relationships with faculty,
