About the role

The University of North Carolina at Charlotte seeks a Digitization Archivist to lead the Special Collections digitization program. You will supervise staff, coordinate mass digitization, and ensure high-quality metadata and access for digital materials. The role requires an MLS/MLIS and hands-on experience with digitization equipment, metadata (MARC, LCSH, FAST, DACS), and digital repositories. This is a permanent, full-time faculty position within Atkins Library.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
