Position Description
Dr. Martin L. King, Jr. Library at SJSU welcomes applicants for a full-time, tenure-track position as Science Librarian.
Collaborating with a team of liaison librarians, the Science Librarian will support faculty and students in the science disciplines by developing, delivering, and assessing library instruction; maintaining subject-specific collections; and offering discipline-centered reference/research services to address teaching, research, and scholarly needs. Librarians at SJSU are faculty who are expected to engage in library and university governance and scholarship, which are requirements for tenure and promotion. This is a hybrid position requiring a minimum on-campus presence of three days a week.

Why would you want to join us, and what can you expect?
The expert faculty and staff at the King Library are highly committed to excellence and service. You can expect to join a dedicated team of professionals with many opportunities to grow, develop, and lead innovative and student-/faculty-centered programming and services. As a joint library facility (the SJSU King library shares space with the main branch of the San Jose Public Library) and a member of the 23-campus California State University system, there are possibilities to collaborate with multiple external stakeholders and partners across the full spectrum of librarianship.
The King Library and San José State University value diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Our excellence in research, teaching, and service can only be fully realized by faculty, students, and staff who share our commitment to these values. SJSU enrolls more than 36,000 students, many of whom are historically underserved, and around 45% are first-generation and 38% are Pell-recipients. SJSU is a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander (AANAPISI) Serving Institution. The university's commitment to social justice extends from its vibrant, inclusive campus to an international network of over 275,000 alumni. As such, San José State is committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty so our disciplines, students, and the community can benefit from multiple ethnic and gender perspectives.
Successful candidates will demonstrate evidence of a commitment to equity and inclusion through their research, teaching, and/or service. We ask that all applicants include a Diversity Statement with their application package. A guide to writing this statement can be found at SJSU Diversity Statement Guidelines , along with information about how these statements will be evaluated.
