** Established in 1964 as the first public university in southeast Florida, Florida Atlantic University serves 30,000 undergraduate and graduate students on six campuses along Florida's beautiful southeast coast in Broward, Palm Beach, and St. Lucie counties. Florida Atlantic has ten distinguished colleges that offer more than 180-degree programs, including the Schmidt College of Medicine, and is home to one of the world's preeminent marine science education and research centers, the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute.

Florida Atlantic University is taking its place among the world's great research centers and has been given the designation of a "High Research Activity" university by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.

Florida Atlantic is one of only 21 institutions in the nation to earn both Carnegie R1 and Opportunity University designations as well as achieving Community Engagement distinctions and Top 100 ranking. Florida Atlantic University Libraries are focused on working collaboratively with this distinguished campus community on research initiatives and prioritizing student engagement and success. Florida Atlantic Libraries house approximately 3.7 million items and provide access to over 80,000 electronic journals, nearly 500 databases, and a growing collection of e-books and streaming videos.

The Libraries house many distinctive collections, including artists’ books, sound recordings, print music, rare books and manuscripts, and University Archives. The Digital Initiatives and Scholarship Unit provides the Research Hub learning space for graduate students, post-docs, doctoral students, researchers, visiting scholars, and community users. In addition, Digital Initiatives and Scholarship creates online collections from unique materials held in Special Collections and University Archives, serving as the University's repository for intellectual output generated on campus including Florida Atlantic University created journals and curated displays.

Reporting directly to the Assistant Dean for Access, Research, and Learning Services, the STEM Librarian provides leadership in the design, delivery, and assessment of research, instruction, and outreach services that support STEM disciplines. This position works collaboratively with faculty, researchers, students, and other campus partners to integrate information literacy, data literacy, and emerging research practices into STEM teaching and learning. The successful candidate will deliver orientations and instructional programming that support the effective use of library services and resources by students and faculty, employing workshops, course-integrated instruction, online instructional materials, online tutorials, and other innovative, technology-enhanced approaches to advance engagement and research productivity in STEM disciplines.

The STEM Librarian will serve one day a week at the John

D. Macarthur Campus Library in Jupiter to support the research initiatives of the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience (MPFI), Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute, and STEM faculty and students at that campus (using the Libraries’ state vehicle (if desired)), and the remaining days at the S.E. Wimberly Library on the Boca Raton Campus.

The Florida Atlantic Libraries seek a student-focused, high-energy, collaborative, organized, engaged, positive, innovative, strong written and verbal communicator, and self-starter, who adapts well to change and can manage multiple projects with the ability to prioritize effectively. We endeavor to be a highly engaged organization that believes in striving for excellence, utilizing assessment and data for decision-making, and maintaining a culture of appreciation/gratitude, as a R1/Top 100 University with “Opportunity Colleges and Universities” and Community Engagement distinctions.
