The CERN Library [http://library.cern.ch <http://library.cern.ch/>] is 
searching for an dynamic and enthusiastic new colleague. We serve a 
scientific community of over 10'000 researchers from 85 countries,by 
offering specialized collections of journals, books, reports and 
standards. These collections are available as physical media and, 
increasingly, in electronic form. We also curate the CERN Institutional 
Repository, CDS [http://cds.cern.ch <http://cds.cern.ch/>], which 
comprises scientific manuscripts; an archive of CERN documents; 
educational and increasingly multimedia content. The CERN Library 
collaborates with other research centres to build INSPIRE 
[http://www.projecthepinspire.net <http://www.projecthepinspire.net/>], 
the next-generation digital library for High-Energy Physics; and it 
plays a leading role in promoting Open Access publishing through the 
SCOAP3 project [http://scoap3.org <http://scoap3.org/>].

The successful candidate will be fully integrated in the activities of 
our team, will report to the Head of Library Services and will initially 
take responsibility for:
· leading the ingestion of new metadata in the library catalogue and 
selected collections within CDS and INSPIRE, managing their quality 
assurance and providing guidance and direction to cataloguers; · 
researching and proposing solutions for the continued optimisation of 
cataloguing workflows;
· streamlining and innovating the acquisition processes, in particular 
for books and e-books; · overseeing the quality assurance of library 
services, participating to the supervision of staff and students/interns.

We require:
· university education, preferably in a scientific discipline, and 
formal library qualifications;
· in-depth knowledge of library services in a research or university 
library; · sound knowledge of relevant information resources, preferably 
within the field of physics; · proven ability for creative, innovative 
and analytical thinking, leading to the implementation of practical 
solutions; · flexibility to adapt to the new challenges of the evolving 
information environment; · ability to work within a multi-disciplinary 
team; · willingness to take on responsibilities and ability to take 
initiative, supervise staff and work independently;
· excellent communication skills and the ability to communicate in both 
written and oral forms.

What we offer:
· Contract duration: five years, with one year probation. Subject to 
certain conditions, an indefinite contract may be granted during this 
period.
· Financial conditions: Competitive tax-free staff salaries are 
calculated individually and are based on experience and qualifications. 
Salaries are commensurate to the costs and standards of living in the 
Geneva region.
· Leave: Staff members are entitled to 2.5 days paid leave per month, 
plus two weeks at Christmas and additional paid leave for some local 
holidays. · Benefits: Staff automatically join CERN's pension fund. 
Staff and their dependents are covered by CERN's health insurance 
scheme. Staff members are entitled to installation grant, family 
allowance, school allowance and child allowance.
