The University of California, Davis seeks a dynamic and collaborative person for the position of
University Archivist. This role heads the library’s strategic initiatives concerning the management of
faculty and institutionally created content in a research university environment. The University Archivist
provides vision, leadership, advocacy, and interpretation for the campus archives and other institutional
assets, which are increasingly born-digital and heterogeneous in nature. The incumbent will serve as a
catalyst and coordinator for a dynamic group of activities and individuals dedicated to connecting these
collections to faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, and an international community of
scholars, experts, and enthusiasts. The University Archivist develops and implements a strategy that
reflects an expansive concept of institutional assets, incorporating new and evolving technologies that
expand the library’s ability to support research, instruction, clinical care, and public service. This role
also acts as the lead for digital storytelling in Archives and Special Collections, coordinating efforts to
promote awareness and use of distinctive collections for all audiences. Digital storytelling serves to
demonstrate the global impact of UC Davis research, teaching, and patient care to a broad public.
