Dear Friends, As some of you have heard, in January 2018 I will be retiring from my position as Judaica/Hebraica Curator at Stanford. The position opening has just been posted. I can attest to the observation that my colleague Sarah Sussman has made when she circulated this announcement to the Stanford Libraries' Humanities and Area Studies Resource Group, that this is a great opportunity for a talented librarian/scholar with strong academic and language expertise in Jewish studies:
The Stanford University Libraries invites applications and nominations for the position of the Reinhard Family Curator of Judaica and Hebraica Collections. Scholars and/or Librarians having a strong background in Jewish Studies and the humanities in general, and who are interested in supporting world-class research and teaching through a combination of traditional and new collections and services are encouraged to apply. This position is dual posted at Librarian or Senior Librarian. The Libraries seek a subject specialist with graduate training in Jewish Studies to develop and manage general and special collections supporting this interdisciplinary field. The scope of the Curator's collecting responsibilities includes not only the full range of published texts in all formats, printed and electronic, but also unpublished primary resources, including digital ones; in short, Stanford Libraries' curators are responsible for building both general and special collections. The Curator also provides advanced reference and bibliographic assistance appropriate to the needs of Stanford's faculty and students and plays an important role in the overall development of Jewish Studies at Stanford. The Curator should possess a deep understanding of research and teaching in Jewish Studies. The curator is responsible for library programs that directly support the needs of Stanford's faculty and students affiliated with the Taube Center for Jewish Studies, coming from such departments and programs such as History, Religion, English, Music, Education, Economics, and the Division of Literatures, Cultures, and Languages. The Curator is responsible for building and maintaining effective relationships with the faculty and students in Stanford's programs in Jewish Studies as individuals and as members of the Stanford Community. The Curator is a member of the curatorial team responsible for humanities and area studies collections in the Stanford University Libraries, and will work collaboratively with other colleagues in the library. In addition, the Curator will have demonstrated communication and interpersonal skills that enable contributions to the programs and projects of the Libraries and to the University. Appointment to the rank of Senior Librarian requires evidence of an exceptionally high level of professional development and accomplishment.
