Simmons College was chartered in 1899 and opened in 1902; the School of
Library and Information Science (SLIS) began with the College. Today, the
MS in Library and Information Science has approximately 700 students on two
campuses and online, and an additional 50 students in our PhD program. The
MS degree program is a top ranked program in U.S. News & World Reports.
SLIS attracts students from all over the United States and the world.
Graduates of our program hail from every state in the United States and
over 80 countries. SLIS offers a dynamic environment for research and
learning.  Faculty receive grants from a diverse array of federal agencies
and private foundations.

We seek faculty who can teach in two or more of these areas:

   - Data mining and big data
   - Databases
   - Visualization
   - Programming (Java Script and Python)
   - Web development
   - Linked data and other semantic web languages and technologies (RDF,
   SPARQL, OWL, JSON, etc.)

Candidates will be expected to teach, conduct research, contribute to
curriculum development in the school’s curriculum, and provide service to
the College and the information professions. Experience in designing and
delivering online courses is highly desirable.

Requirements: Applicants must have already earned a doctoral degree in
Library and Information Science, Information Studies, or an appropriate
related field, and who can demonstrate excellence in teaching, have a
viable research agenda, and show the potential for leadership in
scholarship and professional service. Candidates who are hired without the
doctoral degree will be expected to complete this degree within two years
of their hiring date.

Salary is negotiable, commensurate with experience and qualifications.
Opportunities to teach include: undergraduate, master’s and doctoral level
courses face-to-face in Boston and at the SLIS West program at the Mount
Holyoke College campus in South Hadley, Massachusetts, as well as online.

*As a College committed to diversity, Simmons encourages applications
broadly.  Simmons is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to
continuing to develop a more diverse faculty, staff, student body and
curriculum.*
