Description

Please note: this is a one-year funded position with the possibility of becoming permanent, available immediately and with a possible option to work up to 100% remotely. 

The Digital Collections Librarian manages the intake, maintenance, and sustainability of digitized materials that support the Schaffer Library digital collections program. As part of the Content & Digital Library Systems department, the incumbent works closely with colleagues to manage selected digital repository and digital preservation platforms, ensuring both a high degree of functionality, and that digital objects are available for research use in a variety of formats.
