[AIW] Open application period for 2020 NAF Long-term Library Fellowship at Peabody Essex Museum (PEM), Salem, MA/USA

[AIW - Bartl]

Hello friends and colleagues, 

 

We are thrilled to announce the opening of the application period for a 2020 Native American Long-term Fellowship at the Phillips Library! The Peabody Essex Museum invites applications for a library fellowship to begin in early 2020. This twelve-month fellowship in the Phillips Library will provide an emerging librarian of Indigenous descent with exciting opportunities for personal and professional growth. The Mellon Library Fellow will be fully integrated into the Phillips Library team, gaining training and duties comparable to those of an Assistant Librarian. This position will play an integral role in assisting with developing and executing cataloging projects to provide better access to materials related to Indigenous subjects. In addition, the Fellow will collaborate with each Library unit—Manuscript, Print, and Reference—to help support the library’s mission of collecting, stewarding, and providing access to materials and resources for our diverse set of local, regional, and international communities.

 

The position interfaces across many PEM departments, especially with Collection Services, Curatorial, and Communications regarding the implementation and promotion of projects. Learning the operational aspects of a leading museum library through hands-on training and mentorship will lead to a well rounded experience, and targeted projects offer the chance for achievement and meaningful progress for the Fellow, the library, and PEM. Opportunities for professional development and network building are integrated into the fellowship. Deadline for application and materials is Friday, November 15, 2019.

 

Please check out our NAF Program site that has information about our programs, program staff and NAF Alumni: https://pem.org/naf

On our site, we also have links to Connections articles written by or about our Fellows over the years that share different perspectives about our program: https://www.pem.org/employment/native-american-fellowship-program/connected-stories-by-or-about-na-fellows

 

If you have groups you would like to share our announcement, please feel free to forward this information. I have attached a position description, application guidelines and PEM application for posting or distribution. We would love for you to share this opportunity within your networks, on and off social media. To help, I have provided wording below that you may copy and paste for listservs and social media posts, as well as attached images for use on social media.

 

Please reach out to me for any additional information or suggestions for candidates and/or sources. We look forward to seeing applications from rising professionals from your communities!

 

Ahéhee',

Jennifer
