FACULTY EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY

Adjunct Faculty Librarian Pool
POSITIONS AVAILABLE: 1 full-time (non-tenure track) position with emphasis in instruction and student support.
THE DEPARTMENT: The University Library is located on the Hayward campus in the new CORE building and maintains a robust online presence.

We work collegially with students and faculty to meet not only their information needs, but also to foster a culture of critical information literacy: one that values being conscious of how knowledge is created, best practices for research, the social and political implications of information access and use, and the importance of active participation in the scholarly conversation.
