The University of Maryland Libraries are recruiting an e-Research Librarian (Post-Master's Program). Required degree: "A Master's degree in Library or Information Science from an ALA-accredited institution of higher education received December 2008 or later."
Here's an excerpt from the ad:
The Post-Master's Program, a hiring initiative of the University of Maryland Libraries, matches recent post-master's professionals with short-term positions aligned with the Libraries' strategic priorities. Both sides win. The post-graduate professional develops their skills in a professional workplace, and the University Libraries gain the expertise of recent graduates to respond to a rapidly changing environment. Post-Master's Program professionals and the University Libraries each make a 2 year commitment to the position. Relocation costs are not available for Post-Master's Program professionals. . . .
Reporting to the Director of Public Services, the e-Research Librarian: actively participates in university-wide initiatives to develop and design policies, sustainable services, and infrastructure to enable faculty and students to preserve and make available their research data; partners with internal units (such as GIS and DRUM—Digital Repository of University of Maryland) and external units (such as Vice President for Research, Office of Information Technology (OIT) Enterprise Technical Infrastructure and Learning Technologies and Environments, and the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities) to develop a data-publishing model that leverages library services in support of data management and preservation; assists faculty with development of data management plans for grant applications; serves as an active member of the Public Services Division, contributing to divisional initiatives and leading specific projects; working closely with subject librarians, incorporates support for data management and preservation into library services; maintains close engagement with issues relating to scholarly communications such as copyright, open access, and data management and preservation.
