Full Time
In compliance with NYC’s Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for this position is $73,000 - $113,000. This pay range represents base pay only (for 9 months OR for 12 months) and excludes any additional items such as incentives, bonuses, clinical compensation, or other items. New York University considers factors such as (but not limited to) scope and responsibilities of the position, candidate’s work experience, education/training, key skills, internal peer equity, as well as market and organizational considerations when extending an offer.
Life Sciences Librarian
The New York University (NYU) Division of Libraries seeks a Life Sciences Librarian to serve as liaison to programs in Biology, Neural Science, and Environmental Studies, encompassing subjects including ecology, cognition, and molecular and computational biology.

The Life Sciences Librarian is a tenure-track faculty position based at Bobst Library and is a member of the Science Research Services (SRS) department in the Research & Research Services unit of NYU Libraries.

Librarians have wide latitude in determining their research agendas, and the Life Sciences Librarian would be well-positioned to make substantive contributions to research in a number of areas, including, but not limited to equitable and ethical research service provision, identifying and challenging bias in STEM research and publishing, mitigation of "information privilege,” and other topics at the intersection of scientific information and equity.
