NC State University Libraries Fellows, 2023-2026

Description

The NC State University Libraries Fellows program offers a unique opportunity to a select group of recent M.L.S. and M.I.S. graduates. Fellows will be appointed at the rank of faculty librarian for a three-year term from July 2023 through June 2026. An alternative option for either January 2023 or September 2023 placement may be available, depending upon graduation date. 

The NC State University Libraries is known for its digital research and learning initiatives, technological advances such as immersive visualization, support for open scholarship, interdisciplinary teaching and learning, public engagement with research, and commitment to advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion -- all of which help to redefine the future of librarianship. We seek out candidates with interests and aptitudes in these areas, and Fellows’ assignments reflect these areas of focus. Fellows perform as entry-level librarians with their time during the first 18 months being divided between a home department and an initiative of strategic importance in another area. The second 18 months will typically focus on areas that have emerged over the course of the Fellowship, taking into consideration both the Libraries’ needs and the professional interests and goals of the Fellow. 

In order to be eligible, the terminal degree must be awarded between December 2022 and September 2023. To learn more about the Fellows Program, please visit our website at http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/fellows
