The Daniel J. Evans Library invites applications to join the Research Services Team. The position serves as liaison to arts and humanities faculty, teaches information literacy in an interdisciplinary liberal arts and sciences environment, provides research support to the campus community, and contributes to collection development in arts and humanities.

Evergreen's unique curriculum provides opportunities to teach information literacy across the curriculum, in undergraduate and graduate offerings, and for a wide range of students including at the Olympia campus, our urban campus serving adult learners in Tacoma, and programs centering Indigenous pedagogies that reach Native students in the Puget Sound region. Significant numbers of Evergreen students are the first in their families to attend college and/or are "non-traditional" in multiple ways including veterans, students of color, LGBTQ+ students, low-income students, and neurodiverse students.

The position builds liaison relationships with faculty, creates instructional materials, teaches information literacy, provides reference/research services, mentors student workers at the research desk, and in collaboration with others evaluates and selects resources for an assigned collection area. The position participates in library initiatives including but not limited to programming, displays, and assessment. This position reports to the Dean of the Library.

Based in Olympia, Washington, this is an in-person position; some telework is negotiable in coordination with other library staff and faculty.

Evergreen's Library is committed to creating a welcoming community that reflects and enacts the values of diversity, equity and inclusion that inform academic excellence. We seek employees whose engagement efforts contribute to diverse, equitable, and inclusive learning and working environments for our students, staff, and faculty.
