The residency is designed to match your professional interests and goals with the service and strategic priorities of the Libraries outlined in the Clemson Libraries Strategic Plan. The residency features orientation to multiple areas of academic librarianship at a research university and completion of at least two major projects, resulting in a diverse portfolio of activities. The Program provides a focus area (home unit) based on your interests, which will be supplemented with project-based opportunities in other areas of librarianship that could include library technology, digital scholarship and scholarly communications, cataloging, metadata, archival processing, and reference and subject liaison work. You will also benefit from strong mentorship, committee service, and generous support for professional development and attendance at meetings and conferences. 

 

The minimum salary for the position is $58,410 and will be based on the successful candidate’s qualifications and experience. The Library Resident will receive additional financial support to attend ACRL Diversity Alliance conferences and events.
