Job: Online Librarian

10/27/15 — Online Librarian
American Public University System (APUS), USA

Sarah P’s comments: Last year APUS posted three remote positions, in January of this year advertised for a Library Director, and in May for a part-time online librarian. It would seem this model is working for them and could give someone a steady income while allowing some freedom to travel as long as you have a good internet connection.  It did not say whether the position requires US citizenship.

Job: Secondary School Teacher Librarian

10/21/15 – Secondary School Teacher Librarian
Gulf English School, Doha, Qatar

Sarah P’s comments: This is the time of year when the international school library positions begin to be posted for the following school year. As I said in an earlier post, it is always interesting when a school advertises a position outside of regular channels.  In this case, I advise carefully reading the reviews posted on International School Reviews and also be aware that while Doha is a modern, pleasant city in a stable country, the cost of living has been rising and the country has been trending toward becoming conservative, for example, cutting off liquor licenses for some establishments, increasing the segregation of men from women, etc.  If you are interested in the Middle East, however, these are cultural differences you need to be willing to accept.

FYI: the salary here is actually a little low for the region.  Be sure to ask about benefits if you decide to apply. Also, as they list ‘teacher librarian’ make sure to ask whether you will be teaching as well as that sometimes happens.

 

The Gulf English School is a private, fee-paying school accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO). Founded in 1993, the school provides a caring educational environment for both Qatari and expatriate children, in small classes. The international staff ensures that all pupils, from Pre-School to IB-2, benefit from the curriculum, which is based on the National Curriculum of England and Wales and the International Baccalaureate. We require dynamic, motivated and internationally-minded teachers to join our team. Those seeking to share and improve their skills in a Middle Eastern environment are invited to submit a letter of application and a CV. Interviews will be held at the convenience of both parties.

Job: Librarian/Communication Specialist

10/20/15 –  Librarian/Communication Specialist (P3)
International Atomic Energy Agency (UN), Vienna, Austria

Sarah P’s comments:  Traditionally, the UN is the place most people think about when wishing to be employed internationally by an organization designed to better humankind. UN jobs are posted at UN.jobs.org and Librarian and Public Information Officer positions are posted in the Department of Public Information category (choose from the list in the Department/Office field).

FYI: there are few librarian positions posted and the UN openly states that they are seeking a balance in nationalities which means that a ‘western’ librarian can be at a disadvantage, and being a librarian from an under-represented country can be an advantage (for once!)  depending on the job applied for and the skill set needed. Also, the hiring process is slow and tedious and many librarians I know who applied have never received a response.

10/16/15 –  Director for Research, Instruction & Information Services
American University in Cairo, Egypt

Sarah P’s comments:  Cairo is a vibrant, crazy, old yet new city.  American Universities do tend to be more established and reputable than some of the new start-up campuses. However I would do some careful research as Egypt is in a particularly vulnerable position at the moment and many long-term expat residents have left. FYI: AUC also advertised a reference/instruction position in mid-August.

 

University Description:

Founded in 1919, AUC moved to a new 270-acre state-of-the-art campus in New Cairo in 2008.

Faculty salary and rank are based on qualifications and professional experience. According to AUC policies and procedures, all faculty are entitled to generous benefits.

Job Description:

The successful candidate will be responsible for directing and supervising the Main Library’s service oriented, highly digital research, information and instructional services and coordinating with the Center for Learning & Teaching the services for the Learning Commons. He/she will work closely with university faculty, students and staff regarding reference, research, information, and instruction services as well as develop new services/policies for the AUC community and external users. Specifically, he/she will participate as a member of the research services team in the provision of electronic and print research services for AUC Library patrons through the Learning Commons and other service points. Other major areas of responsibility include collection development, instruction, outreach in a targeted discipline as a library liaison, and teaching in the Information Literacy program.

Requirements:

The successful candidate must have an ALA accredited MLS degree, excellent oral and written skills in English, high-level skills in current information retrieval technologies, demonstrated skills and experience in delivering high quality research service using both traditional print and digital resources, broad subject expertise appropriate to a liberal arts educational institution, demonstrated experience in instruction (one-on-one and classroom) in an academic library environment, a minimum of 3-5 years experience in an academic library (preferably in the public service areas), including 2-3 years supervisory and administrative experience, ability to work effectively independently and in a team, ability to sustain a strong service oriented attitude to provide a positive and constructive experience for all library users. HIGHLY DESIRABLE: Library subject area experience or academic background, second masters degree, proficiency in a second language, and experience in a multicultural environment desirable but not mandatory.
