University of Florida is recruiting an Engineering Librarian (tenure-track) at our Marston Science Library and while not specifically agriculture, we do have the top Agricultural and Biological Engineering program in the nation as a major program area.

MSL has an enthusiastic, friendly, and supportive team of librarians that lead services related to 3D printing/modeling/scanning support, mobile app development, and data visualization.  Engineering librarian positions are a rather difficult position to fill and we want to encourage entry-level applicants with an interest in learning the intricacies of information support to engineers.  

Gainesville has an excellent cost of living and is a great place to live!  I’m going to be attending SLA very briefly on Sunday/Monday (June 14/15), so if anyone wants to try to meet up then I’m happy to discuss the position.  I’m also available to discuss by phone or email!
