Purpose

As a core member of the San José State University Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library Leadership Council, and reporting directly to the Dean, the Associate Dean (AD) for Student and Faculty Engagement plays a crucial role in enhancing the success of students and faculty at SJSU. The SJSU King Library is a highly regarded and sought out partner across campus, known for its programs, services, and spaces that are aligned with the needs of SJSU and the San José community.

In the most recent academic year, the library had over 1.3 million visitors, hosted over 50 exhibits and events, and continued to create innovative library services and programs. King Library is also home to a unique partnership between the SJSU academic library and the San José Public Library, which enhances the role of the library in San José. The position is based in the King Library and relocation assistance is available to the successful candidate.

The AD is a dynamic and collaborative leader who is as comfortable in conversation with stakeholders as they are with examining data to gain insights, and then turning those insights into action. With a strong background in designing and delivering scholarly-focused library services, the AD is a passionate advocate for the diverse scholarly community at SJSU.

The AD is a highly skilled communicator and relationship builder and works closely with their direct reports, including the Library Marketing Team, and partners with colleagues across the library, the university, and institutions such as the San José Public Library. They foster an inclusive and collaborative environment where creativity thrives, feedback is encouraged, and partnerships are forged to amplify the impact of library services.

This position is ideally suited for an individual who is self-motivated to seek opportunities to better their community. Dedicated to continuous improvement, the AD is able to look at library services, spaces, and collections and recognize the SJSU Library’s current strengths while identifying opportunities for improvement. They understand the complex interaction of technology with user experience, and stay current in emerging trends in libraries to deliver and design outstanding and engaging library services.

Furthermore, the AD provides leadership to the library’s Research, Scholarly and Creative Activity (RSCA) efforts through support, mentorship and guidance to library faculty and staff throughout the research life cycle. They provide expertise across the granting and research process and proactively identify research or other grant opportunities to support the efforts of the library. The AD motivates a culture of scholarly inquiry within the library develops programs, services and spaces that support SJSU’s research activity, and represents the library to the campus research community by serving on committees such as the RSCA Advisory Council.

This position significantly contributes to the University Library’s commitment to integrating anti-racism practices into library services and operations. The AD supports strategic initiatives aligned with the library’s core values of equity, diversity, and inclusion, ensuring that these principles are woven into every aspect of their work. Successful candidates will demonstrate evidence of a commitment to equity and inclusion through their research, teaching, and/or service.
