Adjunct Position / CUNY Law Library

Description:

We are currently seeking an Adjunct Reference Law Librarian for a position that will begin mid-October 2009 for 10 to 20 hours per week. While hours are somewhat flexible, we anticipate that the individual will work Monday through Friday during normally scheduled reference hours between 10:00 a.m. 4:00 p.m. Primary responsibilities include reference desk service to the library community, including law students, faculty and members of the general public. The individual hired for this position will also be instrumental in assisting with the Faculty Research Services Program. Dependent upon funding, the position has the potential to last throughout the summer of 2010.

Qualifications:

For appointment at the Instructor level, an M.L.S. from an ALA-accredited program or a J.D. from an ABA accredited program is required. Appointment at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor level will require an additional graduate degree (preferably a JD or MLS) or substantial progress towards completion of the second graduate degree. Students who have completed their J.D. or M.L.S. and are working towards the second degree are encouraged to apply as well as applicants with law library experience. The salary range for this position will be dependent upon experiences and qualifications.

We are looking for individuals with a desire to help us further the Law Schools mission of Law in the Service of Human Needs. Towards that end, we are ideally looking for applicants whose background or experience illustrate a strong commitment to social justice and supporting our faculty and students work in the public interest.
