(Please excuse cross-postings.) Purdue University is looking to hire 2 Engineering Information Specialists. Both are tenure-track faculty positions to help support the expansion of the College of Engineering.
The Engineering Information (EI) Specialist: 1. acts as a liaison with two to four Schools in the College of Engineering; 2. participates in interdisciplinary, collaborative research projects, including sponsored research, within the Libraries and the College of Engineering; 3. makes connections between engineering faculty and units of the Libraries to enable greater research productivity, sustainable publication and dissemination of scholarship and data; 4. participates in the development of information literacy outcomes, through an informed learning approach, in support of the University’s new undergraduate core curriculum that requires information literacy outcomes for all undergraduates; 5. and contributes to Libraries-wide initiatives and participates in faculty governance of the Libraries. As a member of the Libraries faculty, the EI Specialist must articulate a research agenda that explores questions within the EI Specialist’s area of specialization, resulting in a scholarly publication record as required for promotion and tenure at Purdue University.
