Beyond providing traditional library and IT services, LITS actively fosters digital scholarship and innovation, including through the campus-wide Digital Hamilton initiative. As a member of national and regional consortia—such as the Oberlin Group, the Consortium of Liberal Arts Colleges, and the Council on Library and Information Resources—LITS is committed to professional growth, encouraging staff to explore new skills and emerging technologies.

About the Role

We are seeking a collaborative, creative, and forward-thinking professional to join our team as a Digital Scholarship and Innovation Librarian/Technologist.

• Developing best practices for supporting digital scholarship in the liberal arts.

Beyond individual projects, this position will play a key role in prototyping innovative ideas to support LITS initiatives and broader campus collaborations. Reporting to the Director of Digital Initiatives, Scholarship, and Collaboration, you will work closely with a dynamic network of faculty, students, librarians, and technologists.

Who You Are

The ideal candidate thrives in an environment that encourages experimentation and rapid iteration ("fail fast and forward").

We are especially excited to meet candidates who:

• Have a strong curiosity for exploring new digital research methods.
• Are skilled at breaking down complex digital tools into engaging, hands-on learning experiences.
• Can manage and support multidisciplinary projects that blend technology with humanities, arts, or social sciences.
