John Carroll University\'s Grasselli Library and Breen Learning Center seeks an experienced and enthusiastic Librarian for Instruction and Faculty Engagement (Faculty position, #F219).
Reporting to the University Librarian, this position will lead the library’s teaching and instruction program. This includes responsibilities for designing, developing, delivering, and assessing instruction across the curriculum and the university, focusing specifically on critical thinking, information literacy, and generative AI. Success in this role requires a deep understanding of best practices, current trends, and new technologies in library instruction. This position will also develop and lead library outreach initiatives tailored to faculty and staff.
Unlike tenured faculty who focus on research, the POP focuses on teaching and working with students through a practical, hands-on approach. The successful candidate should have significant experience teaching and providing instruction in an academic library. POPs are expected to engage in service work for the university and the library.
This is a full-time, nine-month continuing assistant professor of practice faculty position, to begin in Summer 2026. Summer librarianship work is available and includes additional compensation. This position works in-person from our campus in University Heights, Ohio and will require occasional work to be performed outside of normal business hours.
We are an Equal Opportunity Employer. We welcome and value all individuals and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.
Deadline for priority consideration has been extended to April 13, 2026. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. To view the full job description and to apply, please visit https://jcu.peopleadmin.com/postings/4031
