The position serves as the selector and liaison for public health and optometry, actively engaging with instruction, information literacy, research assistance, collection development, scholarly communications, data services, and outreach to students, faculty, and the broader academic community. The Environment Responsibilities The librarian serves as the selector and liaison for Berkeley Public Health and the Herbert Wertheim School of Optometry & Vision Science. To build research-level collections, the librarian contributes to collaborative collection development and management - collecting and curating information in a variety of formats including books, journals, and databases to support teaching and research in the sciences. This requires collaboration with other librarians on campus and within the UC System on interdisciplinary and/or system-wide collection decisions and scholarly communication issues. The successful candidate will also play a key role in cultivating information literacy and research skills among students in the sciences, especially undergraduates. The librarian will partner with the STEM Research & Instructional Services Lead and other librarians to conduct curriculum reviews, identify instruction targets, and revise our library instruction program for the introductory biology laboratory course. The ideal candidate is committed to professional growth in the areas of instructional theory and practice and may team up with other science librarians to incorporate evidence-based and inclusive pedagogy into their own instruction. UC Berkeley librarians are expected to participate in library-wide planning and governance, and work effectively in a shared decision-making environment. Advancement is partially based upon professional contributions beyond the primary assignment; the successful candidate will show evidence or promise of such contributions to the Library, campus, UC System, and profession. The UC Berkeley Library is committed to supporting and encouraging a multicultural environment and seeks candidates who can make positive and imaginative contributions in a context of ethnic and cultural diversity. UC professional librarians are academic appointees and are represented by an exclusive bargaining agent, the University Council - American Federation of Teachers (UC-AFT). This position is in the bargaining unit. Librarians are eligible for professional development leave, vacation leave, sick leave, and all other benefits granted to non-faculty academic personnel. The University has an excellent retirement system and sponsors a variety of group health, dental, vision, and life insurance plans in addition to other benefits.
