We are currently recruiting for the next visionary leader of the University of Arizona Libraries in Tucson. We are committed to the goal of recruiting, hiring, and retaining a diverse faculty and staff, and we encourage candidates from diverse communities and cultures to apply.
Dean of University Libraries, The University of Arizona The University of Arizona seeks a dynamic, inclusive, and visionary leader with excellent interpersonal and management skills to fill the position of Dean of the University Libraries. The University Libraries are nationally recognized for their innovation and leadership. In the last five years, faculty, staff, and administrators have garnered national awards and recognition for advances in instructional technology, professional development, strategic planning and leadership, commitments to diversity and equity, initiatives in archival and curatorial work, service to disciplines and the public, and community engagement. The University Libraries’ close institutional partnerships with the University of Arizona Press, the Arizona Health Sciences Library, and a wide range of campus units have created synergies in digitization and scholarly publishing that last year generated more than 100,000 digitized books, theses & dissertations, images, and other unique research materials. The University Libraries have established an online Campus Repository that has positioned the library as a central contributor to the management of research and institutional data. With a national reputation as an innovative institution, the University Libraries are well poised to meet the challenges of serving the evolving research, outreach and teaching needs of the University of Arizona as a top ranked and broadly accessible land grant university. The University of Arizona Libraries are one of the top twenty-five public research libraries in the United States, with over six million volumes, almost two million physical visitors, and nearly twenty million virtual visits last year. The University of Arizona Press publishes over sixty books a year and is a national leader in areas such anthropology, space sciences, environmental studies, and the peoples and cultures of the Southwest.

Consideration of candidates will begin March 29, 2013 and continue until the position is filled. The University of Arizona is an EEO/AA - M/W/D/V Employer.
