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. . . .
