The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), in Monterey California, is seeking outstanding candidates for our University Librarian (UL) position. NPS seeks an innovative, energetic, and proven library administrator who will capitalize on the experience and strengths of her/his team, which is comprised of Dudley Knox Library, Graduate Writing Center (GWC), and the Thesis Processing Office (TPO) (collectively "the Library"). In partnership with NPS faculty, students, and staff, the UL will advance and support graduate-level teaching, learning, and research in our unique academic environment. This non-tenure track administrative faculty position, reporting to the NPS Provost and Academic Dean, is a member of NPS' senior leadership team and will provide visionary leadership that enhances the Library's programs, value, and role at the university. The successful candidate will be a creative problem solver with effective communication skills who has the insight, motivation, and energy to be an advocate for the Library teams while collaborating with institutional and external stakeholders.
As the chief administrative officer of the Library, the UL is responsible for formulating and implementing policies, programs, services, and associated technologies that support NPS resident and distributed instructional and research programs. The UL articulates the Library's contributions to effective teaching and learning as an integral part of the NPS Teaching and Learning Commons. The UL will guide the Library teams with a continued focus on improving discovery and access to internal and licensed information resources and will partner with faculty and students on critical thinking, effective communications, data analytics and visualization, and data management. The successful candidate will bring extensive knowledge of academic research resources, information infrastructure (including technologies for users), trends in effective written and spoken scholarly communications, digital collections, institutional repositories, and best practices for metadata. The UL should have a clear understanding of current and possible future trends in academic and research libraries and be able to leverage technological innovations in order to advance the library and NPS mission. The UL must have experience managing a complex budget and be able to direct the Library's financial and other resources by setting clear priorities.
