1 week ago

Princeton, United States InsideHigherEd Full time
Overview

Created out of a partnership between the North Carolina Central University School of Library and Information Sciences (NCCU SLIS) and the Princeton University Library (PUL), this position is only open to recent graduates of a Library and Information Science program at a Minority-Serving Institution (MSI). Graduates from 2025, 2024, and 2023 are eligible.

 

Designed to strategically address the information profession's lack of diversity, this fellowship program will give the successful candidate an opportunity to gain experience and skills necessary to thrive as an information professional. Princeton University Library is committed to making a positive impact for underrepresented and under-considered groups in Information Technology (IT). We partner with Open Source and Library software development communities to create solutions which enrich research, teaching, and learning. We seek to create and support professional opportunities for individuals from underrepresented groups through our recruitment and search practices and seek candidates who support our core values of equity, diversity, inclusion, and respect. Princeton University Library will assist the Fellow in preparing for the job market upon completion of the program.

 

Reporting to the Lead Library Software Engineer, with regular one-on-one mentoring with a staff software developer and regular fellowship group mentoring, this position will be an integral member of the Research Data and Scholarship Services (RDSS) team. RDSS is a software development group that supports the teaching, learning, and research mission of Princeton University by developing and maintaining software for research data and open scholarly publishing services.   

 

RDSS is excited to welcome new viewpoints, ideas, and perspectives from you as an early career software developer. Your experience is unique and it’s our belief that it will improve not just our software, but our processes and designs. You’ll be part of a team which is eager to learn from you as much as you’ll learn from us, and which will collaborate to meet the vision of Princeton, its Library, and our team.

 

RDSS is one of three software development teams in the Library IT organization, working closely with Library stakeholders in addition to the IT Operations, Project Management, the Princeton Research Data Service, Digital Scholarship Services, and Assessment and User Experience groups, as well as stakeholders and collaborators in Research Computing and the Office of Information Technology. The incumbent will work with colleagues across the organization, focusing initially on learning the skills and tools required for software development, and moving into application design, development, testing, and maintenance.

 

Princeton University Library is one of the world's leading research libraries, serving a diverse community of 5,200 undergraduates, 2,700 graduate students, 1,200 faculty members, and many visiting scholars. Its holdings include more than 7 million printed volumes, 5 million manuscripts, 2 million non-print items, and extensive collections of digital text, data, and images.

 

The Library employs a dedicated and knowledgeable staff of more than 300 professional and support staff working in a large central library, 9 specialized branches, and 3 storage facilities.

 

Please note this is a term position.
