The George A. Smathers Libraries at the University of Florida invite applications for two Science Librarian positions.  We are seeking two innovative and collaborative individuals to join our library faculty with one serving as liaison to the biological/life sciences and the other to the physical/engineering sciences. The Science Librarian positions are year-round (12 month) tenure-track faculty which provide research assistance, instruction, outreach, and collection management. The librarians work collaboratively and maintain close professional relationships with faculty, students, and staff in assigned liaison departments/institutions/programs. The Smathers Libraries is committed to creating a thoughtful, equitable, and inclusive culture that provides space for innovation and creativity. We support that commitment by offering a fulfilling work experience that allows for collaboration, shared perspectives, as well as professional growth and development.

Therefore, these positions will contribute to discussions, provide input, and serve on various committees and teams. The librarians will also pursue professional development opportunities, including research, publication, and professional service activities to meet library-wide criteria for tenure and promotion.
