Vacant job

The University Library serves as a meeting place for the entire university and offers an inspiring study environment on both campus locations. Our range of media and services are designed for and used by students, staff, and the general public; interactions with users take place in both physical environments and digital channels. Scientific information provision as well as services for education and research are areas included in our mission. We support, teach, and supervise students and researchers in searching for and using information, as well as in the academic writing process. Additionally, we support researchers in publishing and making their research accessible, and in navigating the transition to open science. The University Library also offers additional support to students in various forms, such as student health services, targeted pedagogical support for disabilities, and academic advising.

We are now looking for a temporary librarian.
