This fellowship is a partnership between Princeton University Library (PUL) and NCCU SLIS to provide early career support for recent NCCU SLIS graduates.
For 2024, PUL is hiring two positions, one in Software Operations and one in Electronic Resources Management. These are both two year positions with full salary and benefits. Both positions are fully remote, and all equipment will be provided.
Applications must include cover letter, resume and academic transcript. In your cover letter, please discuss the impact you hope to have on the information profession’s lack of diversity. Priority will be given to applications received by January 22, 2024. Professionals who enthusiastically embrace the empathy, courage, self-reflection and respect of a multi-cultural, diverse and inclusive workplace, and who strive to incorporate those values in their work and interactions are encouraged to apply.
You are welcome to apply for both positions.
Our team is still available to review application materials ahead of time, and you can request this service by filling out the fellowship interest form.
Graduates of NCCU SLIS from 2024, 2023, or 2022 are eligible. Your degree must be completed by June 2024. You must be legally allowed to work in the United States.
A Software Operations Fellow and an Electronic Resources Cataloging and Metadata Services Fellow will be hired for the 2024 cohort.
The Software Operations fellow will learn linux systems administration, development operations (DevOps) engineering, and systems automation, in support of a large digital library and three software development teams.
The Electronic Resources Cataloging and Metadata Services fellow will learn about cataloging and managing electronic resources for a large academic library.
You can learn more by filling out the Fellowship interest form, and a member of our Fellowship committee will contact you.
The first day of employment will be June 6, 2024. The first week of this position will be on campus at Princeton University. All travel expenses will be provided.
Fellows are expected to come to Princeton, NJ at least twice a year for in person meetings with their teams. Optionally, fellows may also have opportunities to travel to conferences for professional development up to twice a year.
In addition to a full-time competitive salary, fellows receive Princeton University regular benefits provided to all Princeton University employees, including health insurance and retirement savings. More information is available on the Princeton Human Resources website.
Fellows also receive funds for professional development, which can be used for training, certifications, and conference travel. We also do our best to help fellows craft their application materials for future jobs, and support them in their career development.
You will need to submit a resume, cover letter, and NCCU SLIS course transcript. Our fellowship committee can help you prepare your application materials upon request.
After the application deadline, the hiring committees for these postions will select candidates for an initial phone interview. Then, a smaller group will be invited for all expenses paid on-campus interviews at Princeton University. During the on-campus interview, candidates will meet their potential supervisor and work team, and will answer questions that will be provided ahead of time. We hope to conduct in person interviews in April 2024, and to make formal job offers in May 2024.
